Posted by Happy on Monday, February 25, 2008 (23:04:02) I have noticed a big change in my son, sense
I put him on new meds! Prozac to take the
edge off, Focalin for his ADHD, Claritin for
his allergies and a multivitamin with immunity
support. My son was once mute and now talks
my ears off! He is now reading at a 6th grade
level and He plays baseball and basketball. He
is in regular school and is only a couple of
years behind now. I have tried almost everything
out there and this is the best for my son. I
hope this will help someone else out there! I
forgot to tell you that my son is in 6th grade
and is 11 years old and his school invited me
to an Honor Ceremony for High Achievers Breakfast
Award! WOW!

Hey everyone,
This is about a family trying to bring attention for the need for a health insurance reform for our kids with autism. It is on their website and YouTube.com or I think yahoo or google video but on their site www.stride4autism.com it is under Alone With Autism the Do*****entary, I love it thought I would spread the word. It is only 5 minutes long.
Also on their site you can get patterns to make weighted blankets, lap pads, and vests for free pretty cool. They have a good story thought I would share, its time people started bringing this debate up and working towards a change no matter how long it takes instead of just complaining about it.
God Bless you all!!!
