Autism Acceptance

So every year on April 2nd, everyone wants to light it up blue! Autism Awareness! Whoo! Wait..... Aren't we aware of it, like, EVERYDAY?? My kids don't have Autism ONLY April 2nd. I don't want to make this a huge post just because of how disgusted and sick I feel. I never really supported Autism Speaks and I was never really against it. After talking to a friend and doing some of my own research, I am DEFINITELY against them! Just a few things before I close this. The "red flags" that they say may indicate your child is at risk, don't read into them too much. Yeah some of them are true, but others are completely false. A lot of children, and adults, with Autism can make eye contact. They do smile and have joyful expressions. They aren't robots. No babbling? Seriously??? One last thing. Autism Speaks supports the Judge Rotenberg Center. It looks like a wonderful Special Needs school, on the outside. It is absolutely terrible and sickening! They openly use torture and electro-shock on their students. This is what a past resident had to say. And this is from a former teacher. You can even Google Andre McCollins. I am done.

I am extremely grateful for my Autistic children and friends. I am so thankful for the support that we have received. My children will never be a burden on us!
