Very true. My 12 year old daughter has a diagnosed mild autism. But we do not collect her extra funds/SSDI, as we treat her like my regular 15 year old daughter, and as any other child. She’s gone from not able to read/speak legibly or beyond word salad at years 1-4, to being one of the top students in her 5th grade class with only minor assistance on reading and comprehension. Her Autism only affects her language/comprehension memory of 3-4+ syllable words and meanings, until it locks into her long term memory a few days or so later. She still speaks using more simple verbiage compared to her peers, but she understands most of what’s going into her ears. It’s her internal translation out to mouth she still has trouble with. But God bless her heart, she works hard to improve each week of the year.
God bless you and your daughter. It sounds like she has a wonderful, supportive family. I used to teach in an autism program, so I have nothing but love for kids with this diagnosis. For all that they struggle with, many of them have amazing insight and sensitivity that the average person lacks.
God bless her. That's wonderful that you treat her 'normally' and she's doing well. Did you ever look into Jenny McCarthy's experience with her autistic son? I don't know much about it, but I know she says she was able to 'bring him out of it.' God bless your daughter and your whole family.
