The First Autism Awareness Day: did you take part?

Today is Autism Awareness Day and the idea of this day is that it makes people aware of what Autism is and how it affects people in their everyday life. My son is 4 and is autistic and I have come across so many people who do not know about Autism so I think that this day is a great idea.

So many children and even adults are diagnosed with Autism every day across the world and without the understanding from others, things like social skills and even the educational side can be affected.

There are so many different types of Autism and sometimes it is hard to diagnose. Some children with mild autism grow up and are able to live on their own, but others with more serious problems will always need some kind of help that’s where this day becomes important.

Do you know anyone who has Autism?

Jenny McCarthy: Diet Can Ease Autism

Jenny McCarthy: Diet Can Ease Autism.

It has been reported that Jenny McCarthy has called on the U.S. medical community to recognise that diet and vitamins can help ease the symptoms of autism.

Jenny whose five-year-old son Evan suffers from the disorder travels around America giving talks about the alleged benefits of natural medicines.

But it’s said that she wishes doctors would acknowledge how diets and vitamins can be used to treat autism.

Jenny said that “I’ve been speaking to moms across the country who are all shouting out the same thing: ‘this (diet and supplement intake) is working.’ “It’s so heartbreaking to see the medical community not support something called diet and vitamins. And it pains us, city after city after city. I see this heartbreak on these mom’s faces. Autism isn’t covered by (medical) insurance. If things like diets and supplements are working, then why not support it? These kids are getting better and I will not shut up and will not stop fighting about it

My son who is four has Autism and anything that could help him I would be willing to try.
There are so many times of Autism out there I guess the doctors just want to make sure that it would help every type from slight Autism to full blown Autism.

What do you think?
