Children need to be seen as young people rather than ignorant kids, and it is good to hear that you persevered and saw through your son's disabilities even though it took a personal toll on you. Children will always become what you think of them. If only more parents were aware of the impact they have on their childrens' lives, we would have happier and more well-adjusted folk around today.

Autism by: Marilyn
That is quite a story - and you never gave up! Autism must be one of the most difficult to come to terms with in your child.
There are many people who have overcome this problem and succeeded beyond expectations mainly because of the love one has for one's child.
I take my hat off to you Michelle and I hope many other moms and dads will take note. Well done!
