"Be thankful for autism. God shines brightest in weakness, and it comes with strengths that enable us to fill certain job roles better than others would (a talent, if you will)."

“When a family focuses on ability instead of disability, all things are possible . . . Love and acceptance is key. We need to interact with those with autism by taking an interest in their interests.”

We only want the best for our children & to help them grow. But when something unforeseen like a diagnosis comes into play happens would you react?

[Autism Smart @autism_smart]

@markezuma That is interesting. You were given a diagnosis but when the criteria was updated, your diagnosis was reviewed. That could be a sign of the research that is going into ASD.

Data shows there is no evidence of a link between measles-mumps-rubella vaccine & autism. Studies suggesting a causal link were found to be seriously flawed. Vaccines don't increase the risk of autism. But people still believe the meth?
