Sherry, I know exactly what you are saying. It seems they always try to hide

the agression and anger in our children. It is like they try to sugar coat

the autism spectrum. I to would love to be able to have people watch a show

and realize that it is not only my kid that acts this way and it is not

because I am a bad parent. I think they need to show the reality of our

lives.

Amen to that!!!!! It's hard to explain to someone else that anger is part of his "disorder". I even find myself questioning it sometimes. Sad.

I am soj glad that there is so much awareness going on right now, but I have to agree about the anger issue not really being addressed. It is very hard for people to understand why your bigger kids are just not brats, but just another meltdown. It is up to us to educate people. I was thrilled to see even my HY-VEE sack had autism awareness on it. Lori and/or Robin Lemke <jrisjs@...> wrote: Amen to that!!!!!

The link was so good, I put it on my own group website, and one other

that is local. I hope that is ok. It just was so positive and well

thought out. Wish programs like that (the student program to promote

understanding and acceptance) exited here!
