The truth is they really don't know the cause of autism.Sure it's hard to raise an autistic child, but what rewards you get ! My son is a gift from God, so brilliant, so funny with the way he phrases things. His shrink is the "talk doctor", he fires me as Dad once a week, and he told me last week a girl at his high school made his heart go "pitter patter". He taught himself to read when he was three years old, and is a whiz at math like you've never seen. He bugs me incessantly at Christmas time about Santa, and gifts- he always wants to open his gifts. He will fight me tooth and nail about everything , then turn around and ask permission to go to sleep. Life with Josh is never dull...

Wasn't the book, "Son Rise" about a little boy who had autism? I read it many years ago.

Have you seen the results of research connecting autism with mercury in vaccines? It is convincing to me and would account for the lack of autism in non-developed countries.

My nephew is a delight as well. He's nine years old.
