I am the parent of children that were born healthy.

I am the parent that saw my children make their first of many

milestones.

I am the parent that watched my children vanish into their own

worlds, right before my eyes.

I am the parent that was lead by mainstream medicine to vaccinate my

children on the premise that I was doing right by them, my children.

I am the parent that asked questions like, " Should you vaccinate my

sick child? " and " Why is my child always sick? "

I am the parent that was cohersed into vaccinating my children under

false pretenses that I did not know, at that very time.

I am the parent that was mislead by the same mainstream medical

profession that took an oath, " To do NO harm. "

I am the parent that was told that my children have autism, not by a

doctor but by a close friend.

I am the parent that was told by mainstream medical doctors

that " There is NO hope! "

I am the parent that has spent countless nights; crying, praying and

researching everything out there on the internet known to man about

the causes, cures and everything in between regarding autism.

I am the parent who will NEVER give up hoping.

I am the parent that is now cautious when it comes to mainstream

medical doctors.

I am the parent who, now, questions authority, no matter how dumb the

questions may seem.

I am the parent, like so many more, that is overwhelmed with the

daily stress that autism brings.

I am the parent that feels so isolated because previous friends and

family just, " don't get it, autism that is. "

I am the parent who is mentally, emotionally and physically exhausted

beyond anyone's wildest dreams.

I am the parent that has become stronger and more vigilant in my

quest for answers.

I am the parent who demands respect when it comes to my children with

autism and their needs.

I am their advocate, I am their voice.

I am the parent who runs on empty.

I am the parent who weaps for so many like me.

I am the parent that dreams of endless possibilities.

I am the parent of beautiful children with autism but autism is just

their diagnosis.

I am the parent who is going to try like hell to recover my children

against all odds.

You are NOT alone!

Autism is an epidemic.

Autism is now 1 in 150, according to the CDC.

Autism is treatable and recovery is possible.

Never give up hope!
