My Daughter who has Autism is an inspiration to me, because she has taught me to be a better parent and to get to know her in so many ways. I have learned so much about what an Autism Spectrum Disorder is through my daughter's daily routine and challenges with Autism. She's my life and my inspiration, my hope and a hero. She encouraged me to write a resource book about her to share with other people to better understand about Autism. God Bless!!!

Understanding Children with Autism
When people don't understand about Autism. They talk about children with ASD Misbehaving in Public. There should be more Awareness about the behaviors of Autistic children. If people really knew the frustrations and emotions that these children try to express by acting out or misbehaving they would truly understand. This is their way of communicating and expressing themselves, they don't know any other way. That's why there are parents who are afraid to take their child with ASD Out in public places because, of what others might have to say about our children. I was one of those parents that was afraid to take my daughter out in Public Place because people would stare and scrutinize my daughter, not knowing her disability. Eventually, I overcame that fear of Other people talking and staring at us.

What About Our Children when they become Adults?
Data shows that 500,000 Autistic children will reach Adulthood in the next ten years. Will there be Jobs and housing for our children? What's going to happen to our children, when we as Parents are no longer here to take care of them? Who will provide for our children (Adults) if there's not enough Jobs and housing for our children?

A Sibling of A Child with Autism....Our Guardian Angel
My son James has always been really good with his sister Alanis who has Autism Spectrum Disorder. Alanis would scream all the time and have her meltdowns. James is younger than Alanis, when she was 4 yrs old and he was about 3yrs old James would say to her.....Alanis would you please be quiet and stop screaming, your giving me a headache. Alanis would look at him and stop screaming every time he said that to her. I was so surprised because when I would tell her to stop screaming she screamed louder. James would get Alanis to interact with him in Playing, social activities on the computer, she started to say words after he repeated the words to her. James was always helping her to get dressed and telling her to put the right shoes on her feet. James was a big help to me and his sister. I told James that he was born to be here for his sister Alanis. James is his sister's Guardian Angel! God Bless my son James!!!

Blogging about AUTISM
I was currently on a Autism Awareness Website and there were so many people talking about their children with Autism and other disabilities. We as parents are all in a race to find a cure for our children. We have found out that all our children that suffers with the same disorders all have similar characteristics. Parents, we feel that we are alone with this complex and fragile challenge that we have to face each day for our kids. We are not alone, we have each other to communite with so, don't be afraid to talk about what's going on in your life.

Early Intervention
It is very important for parents as well as doctors to know the signs of ASD, so that our children can get diagnosed at an early age. Early intervention does help! If you as a parent notice any signs, then you should explain this to your childs doctor but, if he refuses to have your child diagnosed take your child to another doctor for a second opinion. Don't take No for an answer! We all know our children's behavior better than any one else, even before we take them to the doctor. My daughter was diagnosed at a very early age with Autism and she started a program in our community very early. Early intervention did help her overcome some of her challenges with Autism. I will say it does depend on The Programs, The Environment for our children, The Appropriate and Educated Staff. There's a lot to be considered for our children. Keep Praying for Our Children!! God Bless!

Come together as a community of people to talk to one another about your child. What your child might be going through at this time in their lives. It's not easy being a parent of any child, We as parents may want to talk to someone that's going through the same thing your child might be going through. Since I have been leaving comments on different Autsim Awareness websites and other blogs, I have chatted with so many people from around the world from other Countries, Cities and states. The Parents pretty much say the same things that I speak of about my daughter. I spoke to a lady named Martha in
Africa that has a 4 yr old daughter with Autism, I have also chatted with a lady in the UK named Sarah that has a 6 yr old daughter with Autism. I have recently chatted with a young women from China, she stated there in China that there were
so many Autistic children and Adults with Autism. So, coming together and chatting with someone about Autism could be good for the both of you. I'm always here If someone needs to talk. God Bless!

Autism Awareness Month
This is Autism Awareness Month, Parents get together with other Parents with Autistic children and share your Parenting Skills about the one you love on the Spectrum. We are all learning more about our children each and everyday, we can always use some advice from one another. As a Parent of a child with Autism, My Goal is to Organize Awareness Globally for people to better understand about Autism. Autism Speaks is a wonderful Organization for people to come together as a community of people to talk about our experiences with our children. We give advice and learn new information about others, no ones perfect that's why we search for these different website and Organizations. God Bless!
