Many people don't really understand autism and how it effects people's lives. As a teacher for many years, I have watched what I believe is a rise in autism in our children and I would like more people to be aware of what autism really is, and how to recognize the signs.

Chores for kids with Autism
Chores are great for ALL kids!

When it comes to children with a developmental disability though, often chores are either overlooked or the parent does not feel that there are any that are appropriate for the child.

Diagnosing Autism Early
Are you worried about your child's development?
If you have any concerns about your child's development, you need to discuss them with your child's doctor. It has been proven that the "wait and See" approach is NOT appropriate. Autism statistics can be scary. There are many theories surrounding the sharp increase in the number of children diagnosed.

Cults and Autism
Autism has many parents feeling desperate, leaving them and their kids vulnerable.
With autism on the rise, many parents are afraid that their child could be next. Although a lot of parents handle it very well through acceptance, understanding, love and advocacy, there is a period of agonizing over questions such as why, how can it be cured etc. There are too many who fall prey to those who would take advantage of such desperation.

Aside from the therapy I believe that one of the most important factors was...
