HERE IS A POEM I WANT TO PUT AT THE FRONT OF THE BOOK
OPEN
HORROR STORIES
AND ALL THE WORRIES!
WHAT AGE?
OFTEN TOLD TO CAGE
OUR CHILD
TOO TOO TOO WILD.
HE WON’T TALK.
PEOPLE WILL ONLY GALK.
NO LIFE,
WILL YOU HAVE, BUT STRIFE.
OH! BUT WHAT EXPERTS* DON’T KNOW
CAN AND OFTEN DOES HURT; OFTEN BLOWN
OFF! PARENTS HAVE NO INSIGHT.
THEY COULD BE THE CAUSE OF ALLTHE BITTING.
** I WILL EXCLUDE WANA DRAPER Ph.D from this list. Her book “YOUR CHILD IS SMARTER THAN YOU THINK!” affirmed and gave me my gumption back as a parent. I knew he was smarter than he let on to others. However, to the other experts what did a young mother know? I was advised more than once when younger to place my child in an institution because he would never be more than the level he was at about 18 months to 2 years. I took offense and left those providers in the dust. Yet, with less confidence than I had before seeing them. Recently, I confirmed he is smarter than most think with a Readability Calculator that determines Grade Reading level that can be added to Microsoft 10. It came out 11th grade 6th month. It may be off a little but is not the 3rd to 4th grade level listed on his IEP’s.
Can you share some gold you gleaned from all sources?
How about the best of times? The worst of times? I am looking for things that will add humor to other’s lives.
I want to know how you got through the hardest times. Your personal knowledge is Platinum. I know many of us went it alone.
The more different times/things shared, I feel that we can give families ideas to reduce the struggleing.
Did you find other families? Hoe did you find other families?
Tell me the future of your family in your dream for this?
Can you classify for me traits of your family? Example 75% artist 25 % science. I do not mean you have to have a degree. Someone may be a small engine repair person. I would consider that science or math.
I think the academics sometimes miss things because they are in ivory towers looking out; often staying there without mingling in the real world at all. Like I have a pharmacist degree and no research but can do research. I have more community time.
YOU NOW tell me what I missed and want to tell me. Anything I want this to be the things that are meant to get to those that need it. I know I am not perfect. That is why I want lots of story. So please start talking away.
WHAT NAMES DO YOU WANT ME TO USE? DO YOU WANT ME TO MAKE YOU FROM ANOTHER STATE?
WHAT AGE DID YOU SOMETHING WAS WRONG OR I LIKE TERM DIFFERENT? DOC’S TRAINED TO SAY WRONG NOT DIFFERENT OR MISS IT BECAUSE CAN’T PUT THEIR FINGER ON IT. OR, THE MOTHER IS OVER WORRIED OVER DOING IT? OR DID YOU GET WHAT YOU NEEDED? WHEN DID YOU GET WHAT YOU NEEDED? HOW MANY BLOW OFF’S BY WHOM WERE YOU BLOWN OFF? WHAT WERE THE THINGS THAT MADE YOU UNEASY ABOUT YOUR CHILD? SON OR DAUGHTER?

HOW HAS EVERBODY TAKEN THE NEWS AND BEHAVIORS?
DID GET ANY AND HOW MANY INCORRECT CLUELESS LABELS B4 GOT SOME SORT OF RIGHT ONE AND HELP FROM DECENT PROVIDER? DID YOU NEED TO QUIT WORK OR CHOOSE TO BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT IT BEST FOR YOU CHILD? OR GO PART-TIME BECAUSE OF CHILD’S CASE AND NEEDS? HOW DID THIS EFFECT FAMILY AND ABILITY TO GET THE THINGS CHILD NEEDED IN THERAPY?
WHEN DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT YOUR STATES COMMITTEE ON AUTISM OR STATE RESOURCES TO HELP PARENTS LIKE YOURSELF? WAS OR ARE THESE GROUPS HELPFUL? HOW ABOUT STATE VOC REHAB IF YOU USE THEM ? IF NOT HELPFUL OR AS HELPFUL AS LIKE HOW? WHY SO? DO YOU THINK NOT FUNDED ENOUGH? HAVE THEIR OWN AGENDA? DO NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND? DOING THE BEST THEY CAN? HOW HAS IT CHANGED OVER THE YEARS?
