Nice article from CNN that sums up the fact that so much of Autism is one big mystery.
This is an amazing stat. While most scientists and especially doctors still are far up on the clueless scale, there are more new cases of Autism each year than all of the following combined.

I have said it before, one man’s pork is another man’s Autism treatment program. In a time when we are spending a BILLION dollars per day in Iraq, $400k doesn’t seem like much, but if I lived in N.D., I am sure I would think otherwise. Considering that members of congress don’t even read these bills they or their staff or their lobbyist friends pass, I wish my representatives would bring home some of the money I send to Washington for Autism services. That’s Congressman John Tanner, Senators Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander. If your representative has a child or more grandchild, this seems to help.

What we could learn from God’s perspective
One evening after our daughter went to bed; I decided to finish a few simple tasks that have been lingering for months. Nothing of great importance, I thought; but, those kinds of things that I said I would do and just have not. One item on my list was to read an excerpt from a book of a local author. He is Christian who went astray for a time and is now a stronger, kind person via a journey he fully disclosed. He gave my husband a copy of his book when he realized our daughter was “special” and told us what pages to read. One page and it took me more than 6 months to get around to it. Obviously, I did not put much stock into it or was extremely enthused but one page couldn’t hurt to get to… someday. Well, that day came and it was something I did need to read. It referenced an old, close friend of mine and his daughter who for 13 years they have known she would never grow old. The mom and I have been close for almost 30 years and I never really knew her plight until I began my own journey with Autism. Who could? And I still don’t. Now, I want to be clear that in no way do I minimize or compare the severity of this beautiful, and she really is beautiful, child’s situation with mine. In the ASD community some consider there is a loss of the child we expected. Personally, I had hoped to be baking cookies for fun ONLY and not a HOH drill of learning directions via pictures. Oh, assuring the cookies are GF/CF/SF.
