She was correct. Our youngest is Autistic. I spent decades doing everything I could to help him. There really isn’t much that makes it better, in fact I was a family advocate and noticed they got worse with the most popular therapies like ABA which to me is just dog training. I homeschooled him and used the SonRise program to help which did until he got really sick.

Ahhh, I’m sorry he got sick. I hope he’s doing well, now. 
Yeah, I don’t think I could’ve been cured or anything, but it would’ve been nice to understand why I am the way I am. My mom just always accused me of faking whenever I was actually sick or needed a doctor. I realize, now, that’s because she was, and is a faker, and she was projecting herself onto me. Just because she does something doesn’t mean I’m the same way, but that’s how she sees it, I guess. I never faked anything. If I said I was sick, I was sick. So, yeah, the only way I would’ve gotten to see a doctor would’ve been if I was on my deathbed and she could physically see that I was. Even then, she probably would’ve still thought I was faking. 
Thankfully, I always had God to heal and guide me. It took an act of Congress to get her to believe me when I told her I couldn’t see the board at school. My teachers told her that they moved me to the front of the class, because they noticed me squinting, in 7th grade. She still accused me of lying, because she thought I just wanted a pair of glasses, because in 3rd grade, I wanted a pair because they were cool and all the other girls were wearing non-prescription glasses. I got over that after a few months. 
She also said I didn’t need glasses, because she didn’t wear them, and neither did her mom, so there’s no possible way I would need them. 
I really couldn’t see, by the time I got to 7th grade. After over a year of me squinting, my aunt finally took me to the eye doctor. I was right. I needed glasses. I still have to have corrective lenses. I’m pretty sure my teachers also tried to tell her I had some kind of learning disability, but she didn’t believe them, either. I made good grades, but it was difficult for me. I think it’s because I had ADHD, dislexia, and autism. I think, because I made good grades, she didn’t think I could have any struggles.

Oh Samantha…
Our son has Autism Associated Intercolitus. His is caused by heavy metals in the vaccines here had. They over time destroyed his immune system and he developed that type of colitus that only those with Autism get. He gets Ig blood infusions monthly here at home. Without a miracle he will not be well. He can’t really go out because of the severity of his autoimmune issue’s so my hubby & I can’t go out together, one of us always had to be here with him. We are used to it however it can be isolating. We used a great program called The Sonrise Program for him and his older brother which was a follow the child program. It was amazing. Look it up. You may find some helpful info. God saved us too. We wouldn’t be here is it weren’t for His love. I’m hoping one day we can meet.

I’m so sorry to hear that, Nancy. At least he has two parents who love him dearly. My prayers go up for all 3 of you. May God bless you all, as well.
