Tear Jerker Autism Grandparents Story at AOA
Tear-jerker of a story at Age of Autism …
Grandparents and Autism. One Daughter’s Story.
Managing Editor’s Note: We probably all have at least one Grandparent/autism story. I hope you’ll share yours in our comment section. Some grandparents are a source of strength, comfort and and even financial assistance. Others are a brickwall of lack of understanding. Thanks to Sally, who is a Generation Rescue Rescue Angel for sharing her story with me earlier this summer.

My father passed away 7 months ago, suddenly, and my mother followed him two days ago, just as suddenly. I am left with a hole in my heart so large, but also a legacy of help and hope.
I can not possibly write what an inspiriation these two were to me, but I can give you snippets of two grandparents who did not shy away from the fight for recovery and truth in autism. When my son was dx 8 years ago, they immediately understood the connection to vaccines. They had watched the demise right along side of me. They simply said, “What can we do to help?”
More than anything, they prayed without ceasing for my son and our family.
My family moved from NC to FL three years ago for my husband’s job. My parents did not hesitate to leave their home of 20 years, their church, their friends, their life, to move to FL. They wanted to be with us and help us above anything else.
I often wonder if my dad would have ended up with ASD had he been born and vaccinated in the 1990’s. It’s not because of his personality, but his brilliance. I am convinced that ASD and vaccine injury are somehow linked to genius (mitochondria?). My father was a methodical engineer and then computer guru. I remember when we were trying to decide if we should purchase an HBOT chamber for my son. In classic “Dad”, we sat at their kitchen table and wrote down the pros and cons. Turned out, the only con was the price, so Dad simply said, “We’ll pay for it”. So many times, for so many treatments, they did that - knowing there was no guarantee of success or even improvement.
