Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I have watched the posts and have been very troubled at times, when I joined this list I was under the belief that the mission statement was that this was a place for, Parents and Providers,to discuss treatments for autistic girls, an area to discuss all of the questions that keep us all awake at night, when I saw that there were autistic females that were members of the list, I was overjoyed, I was so hoping for guidance, I wanted to listen and learn all that You were willing to share. This seemed a wonderful thing to me, as I am the mother of a 5 year old little girl that happens to have a diagnosis of autism, I struggle daily as I watch my beautiful little girl, I see the beauty in the disorder as well as seeing the fact that I will not be here forever and knowing that I obviously want to do my absolute best to make sure that she makes as many gains as God sees fit. I have been surprised by the amount of anger that I have seen, the fact that a simple post by a member can bring an onslaught of profanity or that someone questioning bio medical can be sliced off at the knees as though they are committing child abuse. I think that obviously there are always two sides to every subject, and yet I believe that ANYONE that is here on behalf of their child, obviously loves that child and is trying to find the right way, for that very reason they should be shown every bit of respect that we all can muster. Even if we do not agree with what they are saying........... Dont we all face enough in our lives, to not have to worry about being picked apart here?
