Your daughter is going to be fine. Like Rozone said, If you are not already recieving ABA therapy, try and get it started ASAP. You will find a world of VERY helpful information here and meet alot of parents that are going through the same things that you are. I will be fine, I know that it is alot to swallow at first, I just recently got the diagnosis for my 4 1/2 year old son, and went through a nervous breakdown. But all is well, and I am very happy to have found this very large happy family. You will have more moral support than you can imagine from the parents in this forum.
Hang in there, we are all here for you!
What??? Maybe this is a joke???Some dumb kid ... I am thinking that this was meant for something like www.robinhoodfund.com
Which was probably found in a post by Kedan's mom about his headstone.
But that is just MO
Well, I hope she comes back. She really seems to think that she's going to lose her daughter - that she's literally going to die from this or something. I saw a picture on the web page and she's a beautiful child. ProudMommy, if you come back here, please know that autism is not a fatal condition and it is not a regressive condition (excepting a few rare genetic syndromes). You will not lose your daughter. She will, in all likelihood, mature and move forward developmentally from where she is now, like any other child. It might take her longer to acquire certain skills and she might not develop certain skills to the level that typical children do, but she will progress. If someone is telling you that you're daughter is going to regress without a "cure", you need to find other people to talk to. There are effective therapies, but no cure, but with a different perspective on the disorder, you may come to realize that, perhaps, "cure" really isn't something you want or need.So she does! My mistake! Sorry ProudMommy! I misunderstood your intentions!
This person is not a kid or even a Troll. She has a myspace page for her daughter. Just click on her name and her webpage is there. You can find her page on her daughters.
MandyAnthony...Yea I think your right..I think she thought this was for a contest or something.

TROLL???
That crossed my mind. Either that or she posted here something she met to post somewhere else (some contest?).
For a cure for my 3 year old daughter, Cariaae has autism and I need your support.My little girl means everything to me.I got so happy when the doctor told me it was a babygirl.I got so excited I always wanted a little girl.She looks so much like me when she was a baby and now.My fiance got in excited too he jumped when they took her off my stomach.We love our 2 kids the same.I don't want to lose my little girl with autism.I always wanted a little girl since I was pregnant with my son.I asked god let me know when are you sending me a little girl and he answer my prayers.On February 14th on Valentine's day I didn't feel good.I did a pregancy test and I found out I was pregnant again that was in 2003.I made some delicious food for my fiance NJ and when He came home I told him I was pregnant again.He was excited when he did the Utra Sound and they told us it was 85% a girl they don't know cuz she didn't open her legs.They thought i was going to have another boy.When my water broke I scramed as hell it was hurting me alot.When the took my second baby when the doctor said it's a girl.My fiance jumped for a joy of life.All his family is all boys and our daughter is the first girl in is family.So please I wish I can win this money cuz I don't want to see my daughter sufer with this diagnosed with Autism.She is too beautiful to died.She is like me when I was her age now.She is going to be 4 years old in 2 months and half.She is her daddy's little girl.We can lose her with Autism.Please vote for this one too.And add comment on this one.Her dreams is to met all the disney princesses.She is our little princess Cariaae.Her big brother Isaac loves her alot.He plays with her and sometimes hates playing with him.Be on my shoes how u feel lose someone u love. Your daughter is almost four and you think she will die?? WHO told you that?? What therapies has she had? AUTISM is not a death sentence whatsoever...with early intervention many go on to live a very full LONG life.
It makes me so sad that no one told you this:(
My daughter went from nonverbal, no eye contact, no awareness of others to be now being totally mainstreamed, verbal & loving little girl that is academically years ahead of peers....no way is she going to be cured but she is recovered...I second Rose's suggestions!
ABA THERAPY ASAP!!
Ur daughter is not going to die?..GOD forbid. Autism is a disorder and with all the treatments and services out there-she will be the best she is capable of being. You wont lose your daughter you have to come to terms with it- and do the best u can do with the cards that were dealt to you. Is she in therapy? Have you been to dr.'s? Stick around on here and you will get the knowledge and the strength to deal with this. I tell my sister this: "Work as hard as you can with him as if there is never going to be a cure and when the day comes that we have a cure it will be the icing on the cake" ABA THERAPY!!! Look into it and start service ASAP!
