I love the pic that says, "The problem is not the person's disability... The problem is societies' view of the person's abilities." That is so true and I know it firsthand. It's usually not based on cruelty, but based on ignorance so I have learned to ignore it.

Autism comes in many forms, no two children are alike, and no to courses of treatment are a like. I found that your just keep trying until something works. Stay strong...fight for your child...and remember just how blessed you are to have this precious angel in your life.
