Hi Geneva.....

As a mother to an autistic spectrum daughter I can certainly understand your need to find all the info you can. Autism is so misunderstood in the medical community, and every where else for that matter. My daughter is 11 now, and we have been struggling with trying to find medical help for years!!! The only real help I ever received was from a psychiatrist.

It is a complicated road to travel as truly NO one has the answers. We went to every doctor you can imagine only to come up empty handed with solutions. Her behavior was really hard to handle, and have seemed to have the most help from a behavior specialist in the field. Thank goodness we lived in a big city where it was a little more understood, but still NO one really knows what to do.

I wish you the best of luck!!!! Let me know if I can be of help to you!!!

Staci
