, ie's mom,

Not sure what you words to mean when you to say, " Sondra you to blew me

away " not sure about my posting on touchy subject about to sterilize

children. This thinking was to just upset me some, I to be happy my parents

did not be to do this to me as a child as I to know would not be to have the

family I to have now. I to love to be mom and my children's . It is not easy

job it is much hard job but happy no one to taked away my right to be a mom

in life. My children are my life in many ways as life goes on I to know they

to not be to leave me alone and isolated. I to have connections in life via

my family. Yet if to lived with my birth family only hope I to had with them

is institutions, once they to be gone life would be have left to the state

to put me where ever they to chosed, but now I to have own family and to be

to have options to me and can be to have voice in what to be happens to me

or my children's. When one to look at tito the boy from India, he to look

much impaired yet when given hims outlet to life ( the keyboard) he to show

others what he to think, feel and desire in life. Hims ability to think is

there and creative and advanced, so it is only this outward presentations

that confused the untrained eye to know the truths of him. yet if never

discovered hims outlet he would be to go through life unknowing to others of

hims gifts, thinking and dreams in him. He is whole inside, many people with

autism to be as such, but are so misunderstood think we are broken and have

no ability to be as a typical because we dont be to demonstrate it. inside

we are just trapped in us. Some learn out lets such as me with computer

voice, tito with keyboarding into hims machine. Some through arts, some

through talents and skills but we do show the world, we are actually

shouting to the world please stop and listen to what we are sharing.

I've got to put my two cents worth in. Sterilizing someone because they have

a " problem " is called eugenics and it's one of the things we fought against

in the Second World War. I am incensed (to say the least) that in the 21st

century ANYBODY would suggest involuntary the sterilization of any

individual.
