Autism Awareness Month
Being this is Autism Awareness month, I decided to take some time to do added research in this area. I was surprised at the material I discovered. To start I have to say, why isn’t insurance covering the speech and behavioral therapies so needed for these children?
There are many parents begging to be heard. This signaled a recollection of a tune I have heard many, many times over the years. So often, we look to the authorities for the needed health answers when the ones on the 24 hour front lines have a wealth of valuable information!
One side of the Autism discussion says it’s incurable while the other side shouts that children are healing and being healed.
Why would groups such as, Autism Speaks and NAAR (National Alliance for Autism Research), spend so much time and resources on autism genetic research? Last I heard they might consider environmental components as a possibility in relation to Autism for their research.
I found a hope and excitement stemming from parents who are having spectacular results. Commonalities of healing through biomedical interventions.
I think if I had a child suffering in this area, I would want to join discussions with TACA , (Talk About Curing Autism). I would be on the phone with a DAN! Doctor and looking into their conferences. (Defeat Autism Now)
I would be contacting Generation Rescue to find a Rescue Angel to help me along the path of healing and look into possible grants. I would want to be surrounded with this kind of hope, support and direction.
A great month to donate to Generation Rescue and the Autism Research Institute.
One parent in particular has a site that lends much hope and success stories. Autismrecoveryvideos.org
I read of one family after another that found their way to doctors and research that lends hope and leads to paths of healing.
As I read, across the board, these families lead a hard life. There is so much behind the scenes that no one sees, and these parents deserve so much love and support. I hope their lives can be eased in any way possible, and to be able to enjoy any little speck of added affection, and communication with their dear child suffering with autism. To hope that the many physical symptoms can be healed. A long road, but wouldn’t every little bit be wonderful.
I will continue my research, and share what I come across throughout the month. On the Featured Doctors menu option are additional doctors with differing methodologies having success in this area as well. If you haven’t dipped a toe into this life spring of hope then this is a great month to go for a dip.
Autism Awareness Month – A great month to send our prayers to strengthen our brothers and sisters in this area. 🙂
I came across a quote while researching in the book, Mother Warriors, that really rings true to me.
“Autism is a combination of infections and toxins that can ultimately lead to a neurological breakdown.”
