#699 Friday 2 August

There's an interesting article in the news about autism .....
http://health.usnews.com/health-news/news/articles/2013/07/31/brain-chemistry-differs-in-kids-with-autism-study

It confirms that autism is the result of different
 brain chemistry.  But this doesn't tell us what 
causes the change in the chemistry.  
It gives some hope that early detection may 
allow the chemistry to be corrected and thus 
change the way an child with autism develops.

Neither does it offer any help or hope to parents
of children currently diagnosed with A.  For us, 
the child of our dreams is still gone .... and we 
still don't know what to hope for.

.... and we are still ripped apart each time we 
have to compare our child with a child who 
has developed normally.
