Other Autism-Related Blogs

       I searched for some other Autism-related blogs today. I found this one which had a post I could relate to well.
       From the blog Autism SUCKS! :

"You see, autism is a developmental disorder. Those that are afflicted by it have a hard time with development that children without autism learn naturally or more easily, and that's if they can learn it at all. Which a lot of times they can't."

"But we love him like crazy. He's a great kid. He loves to swing. I love to see him swing because I built the swing for him. To see him enjoying it almost makes me cry. When he's happy he's got the biggest smile and the brightest eyes. And looks? Don't get me started. He's about the most handsome 13 year old boy you'd ever see. If he didn't have autism he'd probably be modeling right now. And remember, he's my stepson so I'm not biased. He's got his momma's Italian genes and it shows."

       My brother's like that too. I love him and he has that same look of pure joy when it comes. Everyone says he's handsome and has the brightest eyes. Yet he's tiny from being so picky about food, which is common in Autistics. But that look of pure happiness can only be found in a heart better then one of gold.
