My heart goes out to everyone involved...But we need to see these things for what they are-instead of assigning a title or platform to them. It at least to me..cheapens or lessons the victims..makes their lives not relevant and that is wrong. :(kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648854807234137885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508619860116485212.post-3000969562172438052010-08-03T16:08:49.903-04:002010-08-03T16:08:49.903-04:00Fabulous post, so eloquently written Kathleen. I t...Fabulous post, so eloquently written Kathleen. I too agree with you.<br /><br />WiiBoy, from a young age (when he had enough language skills to understand)loved a little game I used to play with him. I used to pretend I'd asked Holy God for a different child. I'd say I asked for A...boy. Oh, wait you are a boy..then I asked for a boy with brown hair oh..you do have brown hair.<br /><br />And on it went with his smile getting bigger by the minute. The end was that Holy God gave me the best child in the whole world! The perfect child for us. And it's true...he did.<br /><br />Like you, we've worked hard to enable him cope in our world and he is a happier child as a result. He's not "recovered" he's hapier and copes better.<br /><br />There are no doubt a lot of parents out there unable to cope through lack of support and/or mental illness taht may be driven to desperate measures.<br /><br />There were a number of shocking murder/suicides here in Ireland over the last few years. One was a dad who murdered his ADHD son (mental illness was the cause) the others ALL had NT children.........jazzygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04069218745940412457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508619860116485212.post-63711381355457149412010-08-03T10:05:20.854-04:002010-08-03T10:05:20.854-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508619860116485212.post-88557125429511249362010-08-03T09:37:49.251-04:002010-08-03T09:37:49.251-04:00Thanks Kim..

It will continue to be for the rest of my life. When asked by friends how we do it, I am stumped. How can we not do it? My son is my son. It is my job to raise him. Period. You don't get to cherry pick your kids. It's not like the NBA Draft. As for those mothers who killed their autistic kids, autism had nothing to do with it. These killers (like anyone who takes another human life) are just defective human beings.
