My son was born in 2007, which was the greatest day of my life. Everything he did on schedule and was and still is very very smart. Then one day it seemed like he forgot everything that he knew. My mother in law informed me about autsim and I did not want to think that my child had some kid of "disorder." I thank god for her pushing me because when my son was 22 months old, it was confirmed that he was on the autistic spectrum. and he started recieving therapy. His "play partner" that came every day did wonders. My son is sooo smart just lacking communication skills and intereacting with others. I put him into preschool early and I can see a huge difference. His teachers really knew what they were doing and that is hard to find people that know how to deal with autistic children. I thank god for my child and for those who has helped him dramatically. My son now plays with other children, though he still can not talk much but he knows some basic words. No parent should never give up because their is therapy out there that can help your child in ways you could not believe. DO NOT let these kids FOOL YOU!!! because they do know what you are saying and they do know what is going on around them. The are very bright and very sweet, they are no different then any other child, they just learn and act a little differently. They are Jesus's special children.
