This last Saturday was our first walk for autism. It was through the organization "autism speaks". It was a very emotional day for Craig and I. It was hard to see so many children affected by this epidemic. I found that this organization doesn't promote recovery for autism as much as I would hope they would. The next walk I want to do is through TACA, which is a "talk about curing autism".
Even though "autism speaks" was not necessarily the ideal organization for me, it was still good to be around others who are going through what we are. It is amazing when you talk to other parents, how many of our kids share the same symptoms, such as rashes, leaky gut, immune deficiencies, etc. These kids are really sick, and they look sick too. I saw so many children "stoned" in the strollers. One kid was intently playing an ipad, completely zoned out from the world around him. It breaks my heart to see this, yet I am more determined than ever! We have got to get the news out that there is hope and there is recovery!!!
Thank you for all the love and support shown on Saturday for Aidan, it is truly amazing those who have come forward to help!
