What other foods seems to trigger their behaviors? As a mom, Ive taken these things out of my sons diet, and I’ve noticed improvement. IF so, have you noticed any signifigance in the improvement of your child’s behavior? I would like to hear from you.

I am in denial I know, but what are her chances of actually beating this? I am researching, but I really can’t find ANY hopeful news. Is there any?

I’ve never done self breast exams, though I touch them enough to know I don’t have any lumps :)

It can’t possibly be that heart disease is suffered by both women and men that heart disease doesn’t get its due, can it?

Turns out she has a level 1 tumor in her breast and that the lesions in her bones are also breast cancer. For some reason, the doctors are NOT giving her a death sentence, but I have always heard that when a cancer spreads to the bones or another organ, then there is pretty much no hope. So, is there actually hope now?

What are her chances and what stage cancer would that be? She is going to be having a mascetomy and chemo.

In the past, I kept asking myself why was I so different from others and what was wrong with me until I learned of autism in 2004.
Were there any news or coverages of autism in 1990-2003? In K-12, I never heard the word “autism” and I was never tested for autism. If I had known about my autism back then, I would have gotten help.
Did autism start to become high profile and well known through the media in 2004? If not, when?
