I have a 3 year old son, we are having him tested on the 29th... I can't offer info, but just support... It's tough, but these kids are such a joy!
We had a autistic foster kid years ago... They are really the happiest kids on earth sometimes...I heard on Oprah that there is a "cure" for autism, though I didn't get to hear the whole thing... I think it was Jenny Macarthy? Not sure though..

i have a child with autism and he had it since last year when i found out. and he is only 4 years old and he loves doing puzzles and other sorts of things to do with crafts. autism kids r so awesome other than kids without autism. i also have 2 other children that r 2 years and a 7 yr old and they get along sometimes but children are't perfect. and they r all boys. i love to be in his world wondering what he's thinking and one day he was in his room looking at his ceiling and i asked him what he was doing and he replied I'M THINKING LOL and i said thinking about what and he was planning his nexted trip far away. with rollercoasters lol . nice to had a chance to meet some like you, that knows somewhat about autism so good luck

there is not cure for autism because they were born with because i asked the doctor and she said it happens in so many people but mostly in boys.
and said that she wasn't sure what cause it.

the "cure" that jenny mccarthy talks about isn't ncessarily a cure. But her son was diagnosed with autism, and then she heard of a gluten free diet that worked for a dr's son with autism. Anway, she tried it with her son and within a couple of months he was a changed child, and was taken off all but one medication. He now looks in her eyes and tells her he loves her, things he never did before.
