You have brought tears to my eyes. ...Thanks Ginger. You have brought tears to my eyes. I love you guys so much and I'm so proud of the journey you've set on with such courage and love. Chander is such a sweet boy. I am so thankful that even through his autism, he is happy and joyful and always singing. That's a huge tribute to you and Scott and Web and Chandler's beautiful soul. You've moved away but I still hear his sweet voice humming as if he were right next to me! I love that kid with the head o' red! He's amazing... and so are you!

I may not know what God's reason is yet, and I may never know, but I am using my so-called disability to help other people. (I say so-called because I do not choose to believe it is a disability.)<BR/><BR/>Being autistic has given me the ability to organize things, so I have organized a support group for others on the spectrum and for the families and friends of people on the spectrum. I have gained new friends through this and have also helped people like myself be less isolated because of our autism.Irishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00519379584116959971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-27967439303124403222007-05-07T03:48:00.000-04:002007-05-07T03:48:00.000-04:00My son has Asperger Syndrome and it has driven us ...My son has Asperger Syndrome and it has driven us to help other people whose kids have AS.

I get really burdened sometimes raising a child with a disablity. My daughter is nine years old now and actually doing so much better than those involved with her in those toddler preschool years thought she would do. I pray for her healing every day and I believe that God in his time is healing her mind. We did ALL the early therapies, (SI, speech) some dietary things, vitamins, even drugs. However, I in my heart of hearts believe that God has chosen to bring her out of her autism. She just played all afternoon with a neighbor girl. I have been praying for Chandler since I started to read your blog a few months ago. I pray that he too would be brought out of his autism. If you haven't read the book Power of a Praying Parent get it and read page 95. I pray that prayer everyday. I totally believe in doing everything possible in our world to help our kids and I know God has used it, but I believe my prayers, my mother's prayers and my husband's prayers have done the miracle. God bless you and I will keep praying for Chandler.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-6061456437693924912007-05-05T20:48:00.000-04:002007-05-05T20:48:00.000-04:00Tom,You have no idea how much your comment means t...Tom,<BR/><BR/>You have no idea how much your comment means to me.

I have a six-year old boy on the spectrum -- I don't even believe in the god you're describing -- but I'm brought to tears after reading each one of your messages. I'm really glad you're doing this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
