Million Dollar Puzzle Pieces for Autism Awareness

Ok, so I've totally blown off blogging about our Jeep trip. I will, it will just be out of order. ;o)

April is Autism Awareness month and it is right around the corner. Autism Research has started to put together the . . .

Million Dollar Puzzle, and you are the missing piece!

About the project: The Million Dollar Puzzle is an extraordinary initiative to fund research with the Autism Research Institute.

We will build the world's largest puzzle - linking villages, towns, cities, states and countries. Every Puzzle Piece will personally represent your sons, daughters, grandchildren, neighbors and friends.

The goal is to raise 1 Million Dollars and increase public awareness of the current Autism Epidemic.

Every penny of every dollar will be donated to ARI and help champion their mission. "Autism IS Treatable and Recovery IS Possible!" We will, as a globe community, find the missing pieces.

~ 1 in 150 U.S. births now affected by autism.

~ Autism is the fastest growing developmental disability, now affects more children than childhood AIDS, cancer and diabetes combined.

~ American Academy of Pediatrics now urges physicians to screen for Autism twice by age two.

~ Autism is a national health crisis, growing at an alarming 10-17% per year. The prevalence of Autism could reach 4 million Americans in the next decade!

~ What does the future hold? The growth rate of Autism appears to be doubling every two years!

~ The Autism Epidemic is global:

United Kingdom: 1 in 86 children are diagnosed.

Quebec, Canada: 1 in 167 births are affected.

Brisbane, Australia: The treatment of Autism and related conditions such as Aspergers and ADHD ar costing the Australian economy about $5.8 billion per year.

~ Autism IS Treatable!

~ Children ARE recovering!

As a Rescue Angel for Generation Rescue and a devoted fund raiser mom of a couple ASD kids, I'm distributing personalized Puzzle Pieces for a donation to Autism Research Institute.

Ask me how you can get yours today! If you'd like to help raise that $1,000,000., let me know that too.

God be with you all,

Mister Millian - What a kid he is!

Mister Millian wanted to write his name on his cup insert. We have these no spill sippy cups that our speech therapist HATES! But keeps my carpet from being ruined. Anyway, I went to go help him today and he said "I can do it". So I let him do it.

He proceeded with "Mmmm, for Max; circle with a line on it, that's a "A" mommy; X; that spells Max".

I jumped, I squeeled, I kissed him all over! I was so proud of him. And he told me with words, every step of the way.

Good job Mister Millian! Mommy loves you!

So for those mom's out there that get discouraged . . . pay attention, pay close attention cuz when you least expect it; between wiping up the jar you dropped cuz you were in a hurry, toasting pancakes and cooking eggs, you may just miss your miracle.

Holland is grand!

God be with you,

We did it! We met DAN!

We learned so much! OMG! My head still hurts and I just don't know where to begin.

AUTISM IS TREATABLE!

Don't ever let your doctor get away with "you have to vaccinate" or "there's nothing that can be done". I say BULLSHIT!

Kids are being recovered with biomedical treatments! Diet and supplements. These kids aren't suffering from something that happened to their brain and now you have to live with it. These kids are actually medically sick.

leaky gut
low immune systems (autoimmune disorders)
inflammation
food sensitivities
chronic constipation and/or diarhea
fungal overgrowth (yeast)
viral
thyroid
cholesterol
metals toxicity

These are real medical issues that can be treated. So why is it that insurance companies cover $0 towards any treatments for autism? Bastards ~ They should be ashamed!

Here's a website for you guys to check out. Then tell me if there is anyone you know that wouldn't benefit from a better diet and supplements.

Summer colds SUCK!

Lovey and Missa started this sometime last week. Now, my turn. Why is it that the kids breeze through being sick and us parents get hammered on. I'm praying Mister doesn't get it. He's not the best patient!

We have a busy week this week. My last week off before heading back to the work force. Lovey has an appointment at the Melmed Center. I have my doctors appointment to release me and send my butt back to the grind, and the kickoff luncheon for WALK NOW FOR AUTISM.

Please, if you'd like to donate, go to my page and click "Make a Donation Online" or print the donation form from that page. Every dime we can earn for Autism research will be one dime closer to helping these kids.

You know what I was thinking about last night? 1 in 150 kids are diagnosed with autism. 1 in 94 boys. Does anyone else realize that we have a huge epidemic and a huge portion of the next generation who will be adults. What does that mean for the next and next generations? Where will all these kids go when their parents die off? Who will take care of them? Who will work at the jobs that exist today.

THIS IS HUGE! Hopefully soon, the government, food industry and pharmaceutical companies will get slapped in the face and realize they are all taking part in the fall of society.

WHAT THE HECK?

That's my soapbox. ;o)
