Vaccines + autism. Link is tenuous, according to multiple studies, and I'm a bit irritated that Matt Lauer is giving airtime to Andrew Wakefield on NBC tomorrow (7pm, NBC). My thoughts on the issue: http://www.blisstree.com/autismvox/show-me-the-science/

Hi Jean, yes the kids are in public school, but in the ESE classes. William has more mainstreaming than my girls. Since he is in 3rd. grade, he spends some of his time at school with a normal functioning class, he loves it. I think its good for the other kids, to understand him, he even made some friends. My girls are in a self-contained class. They have all of their therapiesin the classroom. But they do get to P.E. and music(which they love). My girls here 3 when i noticed William regression, at the time i thought he was mimicking his sisters behavior, i had thought about putting him in daycare so he could spend more time around a more normal setting. But as time went on the doctors wanted to have him tested also. I'm not sure if autism is genetic or not. They do need to do more research. I do think there is a connection between the MMR shot and autism. The mercury in that shot kills their immune systems, especially if there given the shot before they're 15mths.

Hello everyone. We are new, and I just wanted to introduce Danielle's Foundation and share with all of you a little information about us:

We are a new non-profit organization that just launched, and our goal
is to help parents of children with cerebral palsy and brain injuries gain the knowledge to secure the therapies, benefits, and resources their children so desperately need. But often times have a hard time either trying to locate or actually obtain.

Danielle's Foundation was created to honor the memory of Danielle Vick, our inspiration, who sadly passed away in 2008 at the age of 4 from complications of her anoxic brain injury.

Our goal is to build a community where parents can come together and not only offer one another support, but also help guide each other to resources and services for their children. We are working on building our team of volunteers and our community so no family has to go through these difficult and often tumultuous times alone, but instead can find comfort and support in knowing that there is hope--by banning together.

Please check our website out for more information to learn how we can help you, and to read Danielle’s story. We are also giving out a free copy of a book entitled: Getting the Therapies, Benefits, and Resources Your Child Needs: A Guide for Parents of Children with Cerebral Palsy and Brain Injury" which is a guide that provides families with the information they need and the support they want. On our site you can also find out how to get your FREE copy today!

Thank you for your time, and I hope some of you will share your stories with us!!

Sorry to be rude Emma, but this is not a place for advertising. We are a group of moms with special needs kids trying to support each other. I also work a home business and advertise, but not here.

Does any one out there no anything about the H.S. programs. I'm having trouble. getting my daughter in the right classes. & of course if you don't know the system. Teacher & Office personel won't offer to tell you the help that is there. Unless you know the right people to help. My daughter has P.D.D.

Even though Alex is a really picky eater, he's willing to eat in Chinese restaurants and coffee shops. We're also trying to make dentist visits smoother, and make sure that his clothes are accessible. Please, please let me know what tips have worked for you to make life easier!
