Thread Name: A Wish for Autism
Subject: RE: A Wish for Autism
One last story just so folks can understand, about three years ago there was the little lady probably 110 lbs soak and wet, raising her teenage severely autistic son alone as most are. She would not tell the social worker how bad his rages would be. He was big strapping kid over 200 lbs. She would lock herself in the room when he would go into an autism rage. One day, in a rage he hit her with a lamp .. she died. Her sister found her body and he was standing over her saying mom wake up wake up ... she could not bear him going into a home and didn't tell anyone how bad it had become.. autism is no gift ... It is a curse that caused more suffering to families than anything else I know.
