Bloggers Unite: World Autism Awareness Day

For the kids

Thu, 02 Apr 2009 01:03:00 -0500

It's absolutely wonderful that World Autism Awareness Day was established. I am a BS Psychology graduate and will be pursuing work with children with disabilities. I am thankful that many efforts are now being done in order to inform people of the seriousness of the matter. The children are the future; thus, knowing and addressing the concern of kids with autism is certainly a big leap in making sure that every child is loved, every child is cherished and every child is developed to be the best they can be.

I Am A Mother Of An Autistic Son

For twenty-four years I have been the caregiver of my son diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, high functioning Autism. I have been his advocate to help him succeed as best as he can in a world where he's considered unique. I've shed plenty of tears, sobbed buckets of frustration, loved endlessly, and laughed for relief. My entire family has been affected by their involvement with Autism. It's wonderful that we are sharing our experiences today. I've seen so many changes since my son was initially diagnosed, when Asperger's Syndrome was a wod that meant, "no hope, no help." Let's keep talking and pray for a definitive cause and cure, hopefully in my son's lifetime. I'm also a writer and have written an essay about my son's autism in two wonderful books of support titled, "Voices of Autism," and, "Voices of Caregiving," by LaChance Publishing. They include personal stories from caregivers and people diagnosed with Autism. You can find information about these books at www.thehealingproject.org My websites are www.musicoflovewriter.com and www.myspace.com/claireromancewriter

I've already write some articles about autism in a local magazine since a year ago. And I hope more people in my country aware and have knowledge of the autism epidemic regarding the importance of early diagnosis and early intervention. Hopefully I urge the government more concerns to take part and supported the campaign
