Guest guest Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Today Mickie got sick on the bus and I was called from school to pick him up, because he threw up all over the bus. I felt kind of bad for the bus driver and the aid, who was new and greeted Mickie, with.......Good morning Mickie, my man!!! Then he got sick all over the bus. :\ On my way to school I picked up some crackers and club soda, in case he was still feeling ill, but he wasn't. I was struck by the meltdowns from other kids that were going on around him. There was one with his shirt inside out and his tag in the front, while he had to be guided to where he was supposed to go. Another screaming while three or four aids tried to calm him down and so on. I felt so bad for them, if only their parents new they can feel better. I want to ask the school if they could get information to them about biomedical approaches, but I wonder how it will be viewed. It's that feeling like when someone has something really special happen to them and they want to share it with the world. Any ideas how I should go about it, should I just let it go and mind my own business? Zurama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I have always tried to explain to parents and teachers etc... but I am usually perceived as crazy and they roll their eyes. Then after doing biomed for a while and my son started talking again and giving eye contact, his PPCD teacher told me one day, " It's a miracle! " I said true, but God expects us to work for this one. Remember, most (about 90%) of people are followers. They resist change, believe what they are told to believe, and rarely question the status quo. Be a leader and try, but you can't force anyone. Often, I just keep the VIC cards handy in my purse and pass them out. It has their web address on it and then they can get information there and hopefully I've planted a seed. What shocks me are the parents who want help but ask me for an easy fix. When I tell them what they need to do, they say, " That's too hard. " It is just my opinion that I cannot imagine anything being too hard to benefit my son. It was hard, it took sacrifices, it is ongoing, but we have the essence of who our child is back! He is very verbal, creative, imaginative, bright, and comical. He is the light of our lives, and there is NOTHING I wouldn't do to try to help he be what he wants to be. Most days that is an architect, but sometimes he asks if he can work at Jack in the Box, and I tell him when the time comes, he can do whatever job makes him happy. He talked a long time about going to RIT in Rochester to study architecture, and then somehow he figured out how far away it was, so he said he wasn't going to go there because it would be too far from Mommy and Daddy. I told him that if he really wanted to go there, then Mommy and Daddy would move up there too! I intend to give him the " most appropriate " (you know you can never say " best " regarding our children) chance at achieving his dreams. As more and more children develop autism, I think more parents will come to seek parents like us out in order to help their children. There will come a time when society realizes what it had done, though this probably won't come in our lifetime. Consider Galileo who was forced by the Catholic Church to publicly denounce Capernicanism, but legend has it that under his breath he muttered, " Yet it moves. " He stated that the planets revolved around the sun rather than the churches teaching that the planets revolved around a constant Earth. Galileo was charged with heresy and punished with house arrest for the rest of his life, and it took the Catholic church 400 years to concede the truth and admit that Galileo was right. See how fervently human beings cling to whatever truth they choose to believe? So you have a government and industry (medical and pharmaceutical) who have basically poisoned a million children. It may take many generations before history reports this wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
