| I think it all came sinking in today. I don't have a good feeling about this at all. The future is looking awfully dark right now :cry: It's going to be him and his brother going straight to a supervised living and we as parents get to see them a few times a month. Classic autism = you're totally f... |

| Well, this is not a very kind review: Sia's film Music misrepresents Autistic people. It could also do us damage : This article again typifies the ableism among those in Neurodiversity. She hides her real reasons for disliking it behind against stereotyping autistic people by showing severe autism,... |

| Yeah, next year James has to go to Intermediate so yes gotta pick a new school. We are very happy with the current school he is at and he likes it there too, but he's getting to the age where he needs to move on up so we have all that to deal with.. |

| Usually when I'm on forums, the overwhelming majority of the people who show any interest in me are men. Men send me messages and respond to my comments far more than womyn, even when there are roughly equal numbers of the sexes on the website. I'm not sure why this happens, but it's frustrating be... |

Working on him independantly dressing himself and getting him to help with little tasks around the house such as hand me a few items when we are hanging out the washing, little things like that. If nothing it keeps him engaged and places demands on him. Keep ... |

| Hate to nitpick but she didn't say he was cured. She said "has no signs of autism" and that's entirely possible. Oooh nostromo, sorry this is TOTALLY irrelevant but do I really see Moonintroll and Snufkin sitting on the bridge in Moomin Valley? Among my very favourite books. Reading them ... |

| It is Ms. Braxton who made the black and white statement about her sons condition. What I meant by NT's not using exacting language is not that NT's do not think before they speak. What I meant is spelled out clearly by Alex's example. The vast majority people would interpret somebody made me have ... |

| In the context of autism the word cure becomes unclear because there are different opinions on what the word autism defines and therefore there isn't agreement on what there is to "solve or eliminate". But if I am to try and understand, then are you saying the actual statements she made wh... |

Today out of the blue while with my mother my son looked at his shoe and said "Shoe".
Given that it's seven years since he last uttered a word, thats quite something. Unfortunately I didn't get to hear it and no amount of coaxing him will get him to say it or anything else again. |
