"Autism has no "end result"

Neither does 99.9% of the children seen by OT & PT.

I almost excepted cancer from my statement. However, there are long-term consequences to many children who are cancer-free.

This is a really great post. My son does not have a diagnosis of autism (although apparently he has a 60-70% chance with his syndrome). However, I love the way you are very proactive in the post. I know I want to be helpful in my community by supporting persons with autism. Thanks very much!

The Gang's Momma – I'm so pleased to see this, if only because it still points to genetic links and not vaccine links. The vaccine for some may be the bullet, but the loaded gun was already there, to use that analogy.

Barbara – Thank you, and yes it is. However, as a friend pointed out to me, Autism has no "end result" which is why I think people latch on to those who speak of cures and recovery. We all like to see an end to a struggle. We need to build an infrastructure of support and assistance that has longevity, and that's a tall order. In order for our children to be successful though, we need to think in terms of lifetime and not just early-childhood.

Bonnie – Thank you so much. There may be many causes, I have no doubt. Someday we will hopefully get to a place where we will look past the whodunit and get to the support (without strings) part. I can't wait for that time.

Every week there is a new link to autism. Over 40s dads, moms smoking, low birth weight and the newer ones are vinyl flooring, anorexia and lastly breech births.

Great article. I think I will print it out

A comprehensive and appropriately emotional and practical post. My compliments.

I also think most of what was said here in reference to autism is applicable to any other development-altering-child-diagnosis.

Did you hear about the exciting strides that are being announced this week in autism research? I admit up front that I'm biased about the awesomeness of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia , but here's the link:

It's a press release that's on the CHOP website this week. Big steps in the right direction . . .
