For those of you with relatives or friends who don't have a clue, there is hope!! In the past, my mother was in major denial that anything was wrong with her precious grandson. Then when he was diagnosed, she started this whole skepticism thing. I don't know about this autism thing, what is it, if all his tests are negative, then there's no autism, right? I wanted to pull my hair out!!! I would send her articles like crazy, tell her about our therapy sessions, etc.., and JUST RECENTLY, after moving to New York (I'm in FL), no less, she is really starting to understand AND stand up for her grandson! She just sent me an e-mail that said: "You're never going to believe what I"m doing this month, I'm going to an autism march, that's right, go Granny go!" LOL!! She was getting bombarded by these flyers in town and she couldn't ignore them. Isn't that hysterical? Thanks NY!!!
