Perhaps I think this way because I don’t have the natural and unconditional love of a mother. Perhaps it’s simply because I have no children but none the less you all deserve a pat on the back as I know it much be difficult.<br /><br />It’s nice to know there so many resources out there for parents to get help from.<br /><br />p.s. thanks for submitting to blogengagebbrian017http://www.seomkt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4352650946844805920.post-39226706316003234792009-07-23T21:37:11.933-04:002009-07-23T21:37:11.933-04:00You have such a lovely blog!

There was something "different' about him that I could not put my finger on. Mothers, listen to your instincts. My son is now in the gifted class in his school, and doing great! Autism is such a wide spectrum, and it can be ovwrwhelming, but there is so much information on the web. Thumbs up!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02095215651149392946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4352650946844805920.post-11160447528616106942009-07-19T20:02:56.339-04:002009-07-19T20:02:56.339-04:00Thank you so much for this very worthwhile topic N...Thank you so much for this very worthwhile topic Nikki. I am honored that you mentioned me in the blog. I wanted to let you know about attorney supermom Areva Martin who in addition to her thriving law practice, runs the Special Needs Network - http://www.specialneedsnetwork.net/in Los Angeles. <br /><br />Through Areva I learned that black and minority (and immigrant) children are many times diagnosed with autism later than whites children whose parents may have better access to resources that allow them to be tested earlier. That time lost is critical to a child on the spectrum and may never be recovered. So along with all the fascinating information you have provided to your readers, please check out this phenomenal woman, Areva Martin and be awed. She is doing wonderful work on behalf of families who may otherwise have no hope for their children on the spectrum and with other special needs. <br /><br />Thanks again for this public service you are providing.Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515274985831595151noreply@blogger.com
