I have an 12 year old boy that has autism and me been the protective mother have always told him that he is just like any other boy, and I really believe that but now he is asking "mommy why did god made me different, why am I not normal like other kids, why can I think the same way as other kids". and many more. He been having issues at school and I met with his teachers and they tell me that I need to explain to him that he is different. How can I explain to him in words that he can understand? Does anybody know of any books that he can actually read?<br /><br />Thank you<br /><br />DianaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07773688267118229473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32355297.post-29107092653001239872011-03-10T23:56:11.877-06:002011-03-10T23:56:11.877-06:00It's so sad to see parents fight against each ...It's so sad to see parents fight against each other about who has it right...At the end of the day ALL our children are still autistic, and the same question torments us: what will happen to them when we are no longer around?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32355297.post-17813586723858385942011-03-01T15:42:56.180-06:002011-03-01T15:42:56.180-06:00Thank you for your blog.

So much of what goes on in Texas in terms of supposedly educating kids on the spectrum appropriately is one big, horrifying nightmare for some.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32355297.post-4810593653564167502011-02-07T00:36:08.513-06:002011-02-07T00:36:08.513-06:00You and your family just keep on keeping on, Jeann...You and your family just keep on keeping on, Jeannette!

He is 12 years old, has a lot of issues and is severely Autistic but God made him the way he is for a reason. All children have issues, Autistic or not, and it is our job as parents to make sure they always feel loved even though they aren't perfect. What human being is perfect?! <br /><br />I too just stear clear of the crazy forums because it is like getting in a pissing match with a skunk. It just stresses me out and my kids don't need me to be anymore stressed out than I already am with the usual life stuff. Thank you for being another voice of reason. There are too few of us these days : (Queenbuv3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10767805292831696201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32355297.post-26063191733998663752011-01-22T16:09:57.798-06:002011-01-22T16:09:57.798-06:00I always enjoy reading your blog.

They have faith in their leaders, and by corollary must vilify anyone challenging the great and wonderful crusaders. <br /><br />I do fear some are exploited because their desire for explanations makes them vulnerable to promises of easy answers and cures. Everyone wants simple answers, which is why conspiracy theories thrive.<br /><br />In the end, the debate will not fade. Ever. Like so many other debates in autism, this one is endless. The tribes have formed.PoetCSWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12833522103074528608noreply@blogger.com
