We can't just wish things away; something practical needs to be done to help so many kids!<br />Fondly,<br />PamPam Byrnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11693728509115670248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937833385707548980.post-85373970111841386252011-11-19T18:13:28.003-06:002011-11-19T18:13:28.003-06:00Farmwife two, you know what the realities of autis...Farmwife two, you know what the realities of autism are because you, like me, live them on a daily basis. If adults on the spectrum want to be left alone, I suppose that's their choice, but too many kids with autism need support and help so that they can function in day-to-day life. That's not wonderful or special; that's tiring and frustrating. Thanks for sharing your insights.<br />Take care,<br />PamPam Byrnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11693728509115670248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937833385707548980.post-90300490992917656922011-11-13T07:45:06.938-06:002011-11-13T07:45:06.938-06:00Well-written as always, Pam.

Most members are still the same, the mantra is ongoing and in Canada those with children with Asperger's can no longer get the Disability Tax Credit for them.... something that group shouldn't be proud of.<br /><br />Every day, I advocate for appropriate services, appropriate care. Every day, I mention the dangers that these people present to me and mine to those in my sphere. Ironically, most people in the real world don't know they exist nor care.<br /><br />Autism is not wonderful, even with a high functioning one.... who freaked out last night b/c his Father had the remote in his hand and although was planning to put on the show he wanted, was looking for what came on after when they were in bed, while the commercial's were on.... then there's the nasty "Theory of Mind" which ironically our eldest (mild NLD) one has, not the younger severe end one does. My youngest has "normal" emotions, "normal" behaviour for his age... it's the mild elder one with the excessive issues.<br /><br />Just ask younger bro. The more I teach him, the more he learns, the more frustrated he gets at the boundaries I have to set to protect him..... He doesn't think autism is "wonderful" or "glorious" or "a way of being".farmwifetwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680758336779501712noreply@blogger.com
