Hi,
I have a HFA 5yo son and I am NT with ADHD. I do not belong to CAN, DAN or any other organizations that try "fix" or "change" my son. My son was diagnosed at age 3 and since then has been in speech, occupational and physical therapy. He gets to play 1 on 1 with someone for a half hour a day so many days a week...And along with that he attends an integrated preschool 5days a week...And he loves every minute, he has friends and has gained so much confidence...He is writing his name and he just started doing Yoga!!! I love my son for all of his "quirks", he chews on face cloths and lines up his cars by size and color amongst other things. It upsets me as a parent that only wishes for the world to except my son for who he is that they want to "fix" him. Everyone should be as lucky as I am to have the sweetest, funny and very kind child in my life. My only wish is that other parents could accept and embrace their children. Autism does not define my son but is a part of who he is......

twokids,
we need more like you.*appluseds* all we like you i think every child would have an easier time growing up.I glad for you son.
respectfully yours,

Guardian,
Thank you!! But I really should be applauding everyone here who has been helping me understand my son. I am so grateful to have this site it has given me insight into to my son so I now realize why my son does some of the things that he does (chewing on the face cloths, walking on his tippy toes). As much as the therapist and specialist throw information at you they really don't know!!
sincerely
