Autism Thoughts

It wasn't all that long ago that the CDC announced a new prevalence in autism. For a long time it was 1 in 166, now it is 1 in 150.

I haven't had much to write about health wise lately, so this health blog I think will, as of today, be an autism/advocacy/awareness blog.

Mind you, most such blogs out there are screaming for blood from the parents and professionals. Oh how dare they want their child to be cured! Oh how wrong it is!

You won't find that here. I do not feel the same as those crazies do. They have not done the hard advocacy travels I have done. They have not seen the horrors and families being broken apart that I have seen. They have not seen the pain in the children that I have seen. They speak only out of ignorance.

If they wish to speak for themselves, that is fine by me. I have no problem with it. But to assume they know what is best for every person with autism out there, that is just so wrong.

This blog will try to be a bit more intelligent and caring than those other (unfortunately) hate-filled blogs out there.
