Subject: Question..sorta Does anyone out there know if all these symptoms that are called Autism are actually symptoms of mercury poisoning? I mean I have seen the compare and contrast sheets and it looks like we are calling mercury poisoning Autism? Sure is easier to call it Autism and mislead people. Who would think by having " Autism " that it was something that could have been prevented? When I think about the fact that this DIDN'T have to happen to our kids. It sickens me. Why don't we just start calling it what it is and have people have the correct awareness? I feel suppressed by calling this brain injury " Autism " . I feel as though I am forced to keep things under raps. For who? I continue to be there for my son and the need is so great that I am frustrated by the lack of support. I am sick of reading the same stuff over and over again. I feel for these families because nothing has gotten better. My son will be 17 come May and things are getting harder. You have the sexuality issues, Independence issues, educational issues. EVERYTHING is an issue! I just got done cleaning his room yesterday and I am still cleaning up after him like he is five. That compensation sure could come in handy right now. Instead I am looking into finding a career. Wondering how the hell I am going to manage that? How realistic is it for me to try to work? We don't own a home. We don't have vacations or even entertain for that matter much. This has dramatically changed our lives FOREVER. I can't die because who is going to care for my son when I die? Who is going to love him like I do? There isn't a person alive today that loves him like I do. I have fought for him everyday, I am tired but I will fight for him till my last breath. This has been agony and every mother (and father) I have met are injured souls walking this earth. It changes you forever. We are forced to live our lives as though not a damn thing happened! It is like the Twilight Zone. It is rough fighting for every little thing for school. With all those special education directors and special education teachers making you feel as though this is not that big of a deal or they make you feel powerless. Maybe that hasn't been the way for everyone but it has for me. Having to hire attorneys, that is slow moving for sure. There is no easy way to deal with all these issues. I am venting here but I know we are all in this! It is so painful. Christinna Guzman May green be the grass you walk on, May blue be the skies above you, May pure be the joys that surround you, May true be the hearts that love you.
