Hi Everybody! Just wanted to give and update on my nephew Jude. He has downsyndrome. He is almost 2yo and very close to walking. We have been working on teaching him sign language as we speak to him. He has picked it up very easily and quickly. All one word signs.
EX..More,eat,please,no,hurts,blocks,cup,water,mom. He learned More and Mom first. haha...He is doing wonderful. Speak to them as you sign bc Jude is talking. He has the sweetest voice. I've got pics of him on my profile. Feel free to check them out.
Bast Blessings,
LadyO...)O(

I am a mother of a wonderful 4 year boy that has the DX of Kabuki Syndrome. Although it is not Autism I hope you all will except us. We are still just beginning our journey down a long and hard road of raising a special needs child and need all the support and help that is out there.
Thank you and Blessed Be

Hi All



I spent 3 days at the university of Oklahoma at the Special Olympics...it was an experience I will never forget and I want to share with all of you!! I work with these wonderful, loving, accepting human beings on a day to day basis... it was exciting, exhilerating, wonderful, fun, exhausting, chaotic and I had the most fun I had had in a long time!! Even in the rain they tried their best. A Coworker of mine got to shake hands with Bart Conner and Nadia Comenci the Olympic Medalists....it was something I will never forget.... There is a commercial that I cant find but would like to share with you: the commercial starts with a girl sitting in a chair next to a trashcan...someone throws her a piece of paper with the word RETARD written on it....
RETARD-Only one place for that

aysha, One thing I have found with my daughter is coloring mandalas. You can find tons of them online or go to Shambala publications and they have 3 different coloring books of Mandalas. My daughter has Aspergers Syndrome but it may also work for him as well just real simple words... color what you feel. Its soothing in an almost spiritual way for her and has helped alot. Now she draws almost constantly just because "she feels better" when she draws.

Well All,
I just came back from Special Olympics that was held at the univesity of Ok in Stillwater. I was exciting, exillerating, exhausting and an experience I will cherish for always and would love to go back again. My guys won several Gold, Silver and Bronze metals but what I sensed but saw with my own eyes is the comrodery that these games hold no matter what your team.....and the total acceptance regardless of disabillity/ie challenge we face on a daily basis....It was a wonderful experience.

being a high functioning autistic is horrible cos you are neither mentally handicapped or mentally ill and for me because i failed with parenthood ( pigs would fly and worl peace would break out if I got pregnant) and i could not down a job so I feel trapped forever now on sick benefits being a misfit, having AS gets worse as you get older I think as the support is also very poor.

hi everyone,I just sign'd up today,it's nice to know there's other people that can understand when u have a special child...I have a grandson who is autistic...his is more of socialize'n think it's called Aspergers...I can say the school he goes to has help him termendously...it's good to know that now the regular schools has teachers that can work with children with autisum..He's has really came out of his shell..But people have got to learn and relize they are not handicap'd kids they are very special children...with very special gifts and talent..
