What if it IS like cancer or AIDS? What if autism is simply a few cells heading in the wrong direction and it CAN be fixed? I'll be damned if I'll tell myself I'm not "accepting" enough if I want to help my son stop feeling the anxiety he suffers, the frustration he battles and disconnect from society he experiences due to not being able to communicate. If he can be "fixed" I'll move mountains to give him that. In any case he's my beautiful little boy and I love and adore him- nothing would change that.

What I find insulting is the insinuation that by trying to heal my son I am obviously not "adjusting" enough. Oh sure. I guess I need to just change my outlook and accept that it's all sunshine and lollipops that my son will only eat 3 foods, has a head covered in bruises and backs off in the playground when other children talk to him because he doesn't know what to do. Nothing wrong with any of that at all.
