My heart goes out to all involved. Be kind because unless you walk in her shoes you have no idea what her life was like. My grand daughter is nonverbal autistic. She is 9 years old and it gets harder every day. When I am alone with her there is no such thing as sleep. She can go 24 hours and then only needs a short nap to start again. She is smart and will try to escape the house. Our windows all have locks and so does the fridge. She will open the fridge and take things out and throw them on the floor. Seriously it is a 24/7 eyes on job.

No sleep and the constant attention are grueling. I can’t imagine doubling this.

You lose friends and even family because your life revolves around keeping them safe. You really have to walk the walk to understand.

23, and mind of a 10 year old, sleeps late in morning ,up till who knows at night. But he’s loving and gifted musically, artistically.Know some parents have it much worse, some better. Prayer time about 4 times a night when I cant sleep.
Have reasoned that they may have a purpose as far as communicating with each other without wires, over air. I’ve seen a little evidence to support that. but not sure any reason for this condition besides mercury poisoning by way of thimerasol. Had a inkling when the nurse explained some thought the preservative caused the condition before he had the 1st immunization. the next day, he awoke, a changed 18 month old. Not trying to start a discussion , argument, but I pray that GOD will help him, us , and the ones we KNOW have it worse.

So that means murder is ok.
Got it.
We all have problems; some more than
others. But no excuse for murder.
She needs to fry.

Kerri Rivera knows how to rescue these children and get them off of the autistic spectrum. It is a multi-layered approach to basically heal their gut and detox their brains. Progress is measured with ATEC scores. Success is defined as an ATEC from 0-10. It can take years, or months. The older they get the harder it is to reverse damage.

The government needs to help us with people like that. It is too much for a normal person to cope with. I feel sorry for the grandmother.
