@carol & leelee,
as mothers, we really can’t help worrying about our children. thanks for dropping by.

@casdok, i really that time would come wherein people won’t be judged about their disability.

@brillig & holding it together,thanks for dropping by and I hope that everything will go well with you.

@castocreations & inspiration alley, glad to know that you will blog about autism this month. can’t wait to read it.

@monaco, i’m sure your cousin will come around. for some people, it really takes time.

@angela, there are more actually. But those two really hit the spot.

thanks everyone

My son is 8 and has aspergers.I worry so much about him as well.I worry that he isnt making friends due to some of his quirks.It is just going to be a constant thing.There is this quote:Having a child is like having a heart walking around outside your body!

There still are many ignorant parents in our country who refuse to accept that their child is autistic. And sadly, one of them is a cousin. Hope this month’s awareness campaign will remedy this problem.

I will definitely blog about Autism this month. Thanks for letting me know it is Awareness month. I admit I do not know a lot about the condition. And I admit that I am imperfect and uncomfortable around those who have autism or down syndrome. I never know what to say or how to act. *sigh* It’s my issue I know. I have a little cousin with Downs and she is the sweetest little girl (not so little anymore really).

Thanks for a great link; I have been thinking a lot about when to talk to my son about what autism is. The books look good, too.

Oh, I’m SO glad you posted this. My 19-month-old is autistic, but he has three older siblings, the oldest of whom is only 6. They know that Isaac has autism, but it’s been hard to help them to understand what that means (I feel like I’m still trying to figure it out myself!) I will definitely check out these books. Thanks so much.
