My Topic on my school essay "Autism"
Hello everyone. My topic for my essay is Autism. I just learned about three weeks ago my youngest son Jacob was diagnosed with Autism. It was one of the biggest shock of my life. My son was born at 27 weeks. He stayed in the NICU for three months , he had a small brain bleed and respiratory problems but he made it through. Jacob is now as healthy as an ox.But he always had developmental issues. He learned walk and talk much later then must kids. We expected that he would have problems communicating and being social but didn't think he was autistic. Prematurity does not cause Autism so we were really unsure how he got get. This paper will allow to do research and found my information Autism to help me better understand my son's condition . He is a very sweet boy and I want to the best mother I can be by knowing all that I can about Autism. If you know someone that has autism or you have any information that can be useful please feel free to post it. I really appreciate any input I received and I try to response as soon as possible so always check back for a comment from me ,Venice.

Hello Venice. I am glad that you found out that your son has autism now rather than later. It could've been very hard on him and you as his mom, to not understand why he wasn't getting along the way he should with other children. I personally don't know a lot about autism but would like to know more. I know that there are many different degrees of autism, and that a lot of people have it but don't even know it. There are little things, like having to have things a certain way, loud noises being scary, not wanting to touch something, or even throwing fits differently can be considered a form of autism. So I begin to wonder if there really is a defination for autism. My cousin-in-law's son has severe autism (don't know the proper term) that developed when he was a child. The cause of his autism was his immunization shots. They contained mercury which screwed up his system completely. He goes through chelation therapy and it seems to be helping him more than any therapy did. He is 16 and has a mind of a small child and he loves trains. He is more alert of what is going on around him and now he even shakes hands with us when we see him. This is thanks to the chelation therapy. Good luck with everything, and I look forward to reading and learning more about autism.
