Autism Parents 80% Divorce Stat Debunked

Glad to see that someone took the time to actually study this issue.  I tried in vain to find the source of the 80% number and could never find.  It always bugged me that we know divorce statistics on all kinds of other issues (different religion, lived together before marriage, etc), but the one about [...]

Autism Mothers Chosen by God

The following is a modified version of a poem written by Erma Bombeck.  Also, yes, I know God didn’t cause autism in a lot of our kids, but somehow this has a nicer ring than Autism Mothers Chosen by Incompetent, Uncaring, Boneheaded and All Around Clueless Medical Establishment and the Pharmaceutical Industry Complex.

Autism is like a magnifying glass on your life …

If you have a child with autism, you’re probably already aware of this concept whether you know it or not.  Autism magnifies your problems.  If you have money problems, most can expect them to get worse.  If you have problems in your marriage, they will be harder to ignore.  If you have addictions, you’ll be [...]

Autism Murder Suicides: I’ll take your kid if that’s what it’s come to

I am sick and frickin’ tired of seeing these autism murder suicides.  Mom or Dad can’t take it any more.  Can’t bear to think of how their child’s life will end up, decides to off everyone involved.  For some reason, these people who are good at killing their children, often screw it up and survive [...]

Autism and the Dentist Office

As kids, most of us were not too fond of going to the dentist.  Often a scary ordeal even for “neurotypical” children, it can be downright terrifying to kids with autism.  For one thing, they are asked to sit still for an extended period of time while a stranger poke, picks, and scrapes around in [...]
