After reading this ridiculous letter the Michigan Chamber of Commerce sent to its members, I came to the conclusion that I'm pretty sure my Autistic son is completely normal and these goons are the ones who need therapy!! Seriously? Who wrote this anyway? If you'd like to get a good laugh or even cry about the stupidity of the lobbyists running our state government- give this a look Michigan Chamber opposes Autism treatment
I won't bore you or go into why this legislation is more than just right- it's ethical. I'm not sure how someone can go home from their well-paying job, in their nice car, to their big house, and greet their normie kids at the door- all while knowing they just did a hard days work off the backs of small business owners who have had to work their asses off to pay for their kids Autism. Does that sound 'NORMAL' to you? Sounds to me like they might need some social skills therapy. Hope their health insurance covers it!
How did I get so grumpy? oh yea- I went to bed at 1am to be awoke by the extreme loose bowles of a little boy with Autism. No doctors here in our area can help, it must have been the gluten free fries from Culvers. Sue me but I'm not up for the 4 hour drive to Detroit because I have priorities ya know? Christmas is coming and thanks to the bankrupting costs to cover H's therapy, he knows enough to realize he hates the doctor, and loves toys (ok-maybe he likes 'things')! Sad isn't it?
This is the blog of Marlowe, a busy Mom raising 4 children. Two teenagers, one 10 yr old princess, and the youngest of them is 7 yr old H, who is a very busy, energetic and smart little stinker who happens to be part of the A-Team (Autism). Enjoy the joys and funnies, sometimes frustrations, of the world of parenting, advocacy, special education and Autism as you read about our journey to places I never thought possible. Enjoy!

I'm with you! Of course I've always wondered if the people with Autism are a little bit more normal than the rest of us. My step daughter is right on the spectrum line and I love her special way of doing things very much.
