Thought of the Day


“We are not our history.” is a great saying...
However, if we keep with the same patterns and choose the same paths then we will repeat history...

I think about our kiddos, as when will people get that autism is an epidemic and stop doing what we are doing. We are repeating history, every year the number rises! Why is it that from my High School friends, double digits, at least the ones I know about have children on the spectrum and growing up I didn't know any?

1 out of 20 households are affected in some way either child, grandchild, niece or nephew. Sure we are over diagnosing!! Then where is the older generation of children?!

Not many things frustrate me, but it does frustrate me when those who aren't affected turn their nose up or turn their heads like it does not exist. With 1 out of 88 children it will eventually be in their families!!

Jaxson was born a healthy 11lb 1oz boy measuring 24-1/2 inches long, spoke his first words at 9 months and was developing perfectly. We got vaccines at 15 months and our whole world turned black with his negative reactions instantly! If you know me than you know I am not against vaccines I am just against so many at once!

It breaks my heart to continue to read our stories and they all sound the same (there are thousands of us) and yet mainstream continues to ignore it. I feel no one should have a right to comment unless they have had their child taken from them in this way. Because that is what it felt like. Until you live one day in someone else's shoes, than you don't know.. For those who just don't get it, all I ask is for you to be open minded. I don't judge you for your choices, don't judge me for my feelings.. Hmmm I kind of remember tobacco companies telling the public that smoking didn't cause cancer and then later that 2nd hand smoke didn’t either (even when they absolutely knew it did!) hmmm...how did that turn out for our population?? Just saying.
