We
have
walked
where
some
of
you
have
yet
to
go
|
|
|
 
We have walked where some of you
have yet to go or
are going through
right now and want
to take the drug free
approach. We have been there and know what it feels like
to have all those stresses and the feeling of
hopelessness. What
is so wonderful is to see our son today who has come so
far and is doing so well. So never give up on your
child or children they have so much to give if we
believe in them they will believe in themselves.
|
|
Our children all
have their own
unique ways.
Wouldn't it be
boring if we were
all alike. We need
to guide them on the
right path by
understanding them
with a loving and
open heart then our children
will do wonderfully.
|
|
It's
not uncommon for girls with this syndrome to go undiagnosed well
into adulthood they have less motor impairment, a broader
range of obsessive interests and a stronger desire to connect
with others, despite their social impairment. It's 10 times more
prevalent in males.
|
|
We are sharing with
others, it's not
just one thing that
helped our son. It's
a long process with
dedication,
perseverance,
understanding, never
giving up and the
most important thing
is unconditional
Love. We all want to
be loved for who we
are.
|
|
This
syndrome doesn't go away, some children could be misdiagnosed.
You learn to live with it by using coping strategies and other
things we have been able to help our son with. This
was without giving him drugs this is why now he is doing so well
today.
We
felt drugs were a band-aid and these children's brains have not
fully matured so why would you put them on these psychotic
medications.
|
|
Our son will do very
well in life because we have given him life skills that
will help him become successful in his life's journey. I
was very fortunate because I listened to that intuition
and my faith helped me get through the very difficult
times because many a time I had no one to talk to.
|
|
If we
hadn't done all these things to help our son he would not be
where he is today he would be one of the statistics
and that's the honest truth.
There are more and more
children being diagnosed with this syndrome you have to get
the right help and support as early as possible like we were
able to do. |
|
Nothing happens
overnight, it is not
going to be easy it
takes time, by
educating yourself,
learning as much as
you can so we can
help our beloved
children. We were
very blessed in
finding a doctor who put us on the road to good health and well-being
all those years ago.
|
|
We want our story to
give hope to parents
who are having
difficulties with
their child or
children and who
want to take a
drug-free approach.
When our son was
diagnosed I
was devastated and I
thought he was
doomed to an
unfulfilled life.
I can honestly now
say that's not
true.
|
|
I remember one of his teachers saying to us, "what do
you think he will do when he leaves school? Perhaps he
will be able to stack cans at a grocery store".
The teacher wasn't being mean, but no one then would
have believed he would be where he is today.
|
|
The earlier you can
reach these children
the better the
results will be. We
can't go
around self
diagnosing our
children.
First you have to
have your child
tested so they can
be properly
diagnosed. As
a mother you know in
your heart your
child needs help,
your intuition will
tell you this.
|
|
If you
do not stay calm then your child will suffer and so will you.
That doesn't mean
giving in to them.
You have to be the
parent and let them
see there are
consequences for
some of there
actions. Yes they do
have meltdowns. I
came up with
strategies to help
me deal with this.
Also looking into
why is this
happening and
finding the help
when our son was
young enough enable us to turn
his life around.
|
|
Taking the drug free
approach led us on
this path for our
son to become the
person he is today.
A young-man
who has come so far,
he didn't let his
syndrome stop him
achieving his goals,
we taught him
good manners, good
work ethics and good
morals because we
believed in him he
believed in himself.
|
|
This enabled
him to pursue his dreams in wanting to be in the television industry. He has the
discipline. he knows it's a tough world out there. Nothing is given to you
in this world. You have to work at it, by focusing and staying on
task which is something he is able to do now.

Letter to our son's teacher in high school Mrs. Barker
Letter to our son's teacher's aide
Our son did
it
Congratulations
for Graduating
college TV
Broadcasting
2010
Way to
Go!
Even though
our son can't
appreciate the
letters I write
to him right
now, he knows we
love him
. Always
remember that
when they can't
hug us or tell
us they love us
they do
love us in
their own way. Our son
had a wonderful
relationships
with his two
grandmothers he
was very kind to
my mother when
she would stay
with us he would
help her if she
needed it, he
has a kind
heart.
It's just
he is not able
to express his
love the way
other children
can to the most
important people
in his
life. It doesn't
mean he doesn't
care as our son
gets older it
will become
easier.
If you
have shown them
love and
understanding
that will help
them later in
their lives
because love can
do so many
extraordinary
things .

A Mind of Autism
Please look at Daniel's
story how when he was a child he would have wanted for his syndrome to be taken
away but now he is happy being who he is. An extraordinary young man. These
children have some incredible gifts so like I have always thought and wrote
nurture them with love and understanding so they will grow to their full
potential. Like we have been able to do with our son. Otherwise they could
become angry, self-destructive, with no social skills and become very lonely,
unhappy adults.
