Here is my beef, a sick child, any sick child and the community comes out in droves to help .. we have fund raisers and chicken bbq's and rally as we all should for any sick child with cancer or anything else for that matter.

A family that has a child with severe autism, people look at them with disgust in a store when the outburst occurs. I watched one young mom with tears screaming HE IS AUTISTIC CUT ME AN F'IN BREAK OK ...

my heart broke, the more awareness the better, the more compassion the better, the more support, the better.   The more autism is discussed the more understanding and compassion folks will have. It is a terrible hard road, I could go on a thousand years with horror stories, Like how my friend 6 months pregnant lost her baby when her 8 year in a autism fit kicked her in the stomach and nearly killed her and did kill the baby ... and it wasn't his fault .. it was autism ..

that is the tip of the iceberg some even worse ... and little help from anyone .. most face it alone ... completely alone ... and most lose their spouse over it also ...
