Its crazy how many children have autism these days.

I agree.  I don't funny understand the disease, but I know it is tough on the kids and the parents.  Parents apparently notice that their children may have autism in the first two or three years of a child's life.

Some people think it comes from getting vaccines, but personally I think it is something to do with the foods we eat.

I'm not sure what causes it, but the experts suggest it's a combo of genetic and environmental factors.  Infections before child-birth, too.  Rough all the way around.

I have worked with Autistic children in schools.  Some are not bad to work with but some were nightmares!

That's amazing.  I'll bet that some of the educational treatment works for sure.  You are definitely a hero for doing this.

I wouldn't consider myself a hero, but one who is willing to help anyone.  Even though the job had its challenges it was also rewarding at times to know you were helping children who are really in need.

Now I work with a normal student population, but there is still kids with autism in the classes.  It is unbelievable how many kids are now presenting with this disease.

I have not met many people with autism - a few.  They are memorable.  I'm glad there is some movement to helping people with autism to develop coping skills.  It matters a lot!  Great to chat with you.
