Dazed and Confused?
I know I'm going to get hate mail for this post, and to that, I can only sigh. But I want you to remember one thing as you read this post... this is MY healing journey. It seems that everyone I talk to wants to know how Nicholas "got autism". How the heck do I know? Have you heard reference to my name as being an expert in the field of communication sciences and neurological disorders? Have you read pages upon pages of research data that I've written regarding autism and its cause? No. Unlike a lot of parents out there, I didn't lose my son after he received his MMR. He's still the same perky, curious, entertaining boy he was back then. But there is one thing that hasn't changed for him through the years, and that's his level of communication. Although, he's a HUGE scripter, it has only been recently that we've been hearing a lot of spontaneous speech... which is groovy! I know you've heard me bring up Jenny before, but I need to make...
