Sorry, but even with a newbie that might be a bit cold. The lady says she has two autistic children.

I sure hope that you don't think I'm a "ninny" for being concerned about the judiciary's new found authority to kill the handicapped. I have a Down Syndrome son and this is bothering me too. I've been around and know the score pretty well. My eyes are open to what I'm witnessing.

In any event, it isn't easy raising one handicapped child, much less two.

A bit of empathy might not be out of place here.

She did not say her children were autistic. Look at her post. She said she was "afraid" to go to the doctor, afraid to get them help and asked should she hide them.


And I may be rude, but I have no, no patience for a woman with sick children who is weeping and posting on the internet about not getting a "diagnosis" or treatment for them. Children need mothers who act like grown up women.

Thanks. I would be remiss in my duty as a mother if I did not worry about the ramifications of what is going on here to my children.


To those that would criticize me..........do YOU know how I raise my children? Do YOU know what therapies they recieve? And since when is autism an illness? It is not a disease. FYI my children are at this very moment involved in a little known buut very effective therapy.

(sorry for the rant mama bear syndrome you know)
