We’re making a trip to Florida in the near future for a doctor visit and a quick trip to Walt Disney World. We have always traveled with a stroller. It makes getting through airport security MUCH easier. However, she is getting a tad too big for the standard umbrella stroller. I have gotten used to the dirty looks by judgmental people. I am counting on karma paying them a visit at some point. I noticed when searching for a big kid stroller that there is even a blog and a Facebook page where folks can go and practice being judgmental by mocking kids too big to be in strollers.

Silver Spring, Md. March 25 — It all started when Jennifer Ethirveerasingam looked at her April issue of Parents magazine. Mother to a child with autism and aware that April is Autism Awareness Month, she began to page through the magazine, looking for an article—anything—about autism. Finding nothing, she told some friends, who posted on the Parents magazine Facebook page under the heading “Lack of Autism Coverage.”

I wish there was some accepted and quantifiable scale that we could all use when discussing individuals diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. It is so frustrating to see a kid who bangs his head and spins all day everyday and a higher functioning person with Aspergers, both lumped into AUTISM. This is the root of many disagreements and feuds over autism that permeate the Internet. People are not talking Apples and Oranges.
