Re: Autisim resources are out there . .
Posted by Kami Glaser on 1/26/07
I have a friend who has a 6 year old son who is Autistic. She has
done and gone just about everywhere for help with her son. There is
no one out there that will help her unless her son or someone in the
family dies or gets seriously hurt from his autisim. I have
experianced what she goes through on a daily basis. And believe me
its not pretty. She also has a 4 year old daughter that all the time
gets caught in the middle of his rages. I told her I will do
everything to help her find some help. She fianly broke down in
front of me last night. I cant imagine having to put up with that
everyday. If anyone out there can point me in the right direction
for getting her some help in caring for her son please show me the
way. We live in Albany Oregon and there is nothing that we have
found to help her out. PLEASE help her! Thank you!
