Well I posted somethin on Facebook so I thought it was a good article for my blog:Things have been relatively good ....I take the behavior as a part of our lives and you cannot just wish it away.Many are convinced that therapies and diets can "cure" Autism ..I don't agree. It's more like diabetes as long as you get the proper insulin you can live with it,the same for all the "so called cures"for autism.....Keep them going and you might see an improved life but the minute you discontinue our kids are STILL AUTISTIC and will go to their graves AUTISTIC....... An observation I have slowly begun to realize is that specifically in Dakotas case I feel , considering the onset , trigger and duration of his behaviors. Especially in recent times ,it seems  to indicate something like a seizure....the "triggers" are very diffcult to recognize and sometimes there is very little to point to as a trigger. The onset is almost instaneous literally one minute happy good behavior to raving maniac hitting and shouting. The duration is usually quite brief in terms of what I have compared to others on the spectrum. AND many times after it "passes" , he will be meek and apologetic as if he had no ability control his outburst...perhaps This is more indicative of Bi-polar or some other DX . When our children get older it becomes more and more apparent that they like many other "populations" are "throw aways" ...the doctors stop giving you therapies or alternatives , they are usually physiologically healthy so there's nothing to be done about that,there is no support after 22 from school or educational institutions ..all that is left is to put them in a work program where they are behind closed doors doing busy work (for the most part) and it becomes a glorifies babysitting service....VERY FRUSTRATING! I believe many of these kids CAN STILL BENEFIT From therapy and programs ..there is just nothing out there...I don't mean to slam the work programs because they do perform a valuable service to thousands of challenged kids who are very happy to go every day BUT It is the only alternative and that's what is not right...OH I digress....one last thought there are even more kids coming up in to the general population getting out of school and if something is not done there won't be anything out there for them ..!..PEOPLE UNIT AND STAND UP NOW BEFORE its your son or daughter out there floating with no where to go....they will only spend the better part of 12 to 18 years in Pre school and school at the maximum age of 22 they must exit school programs then until they reach old age unless they are fortunate to be Aspies and can get a decent job they will be in thE community with. N O T H I N G and NO WHERE TO GO!!!!
