That's what all parents want for their children.  I believe the 'a' in parent means 'always.'

When I learned Andrew had autism, my life changed.  I became his advocate and seeker of knowledge.  The bright-eyed happy toddler became a different person.

He was miserable in elementary school and middle school became a nightmare. Eventually, he would describe his life as 'living inside someone else's body.'  I believe that the change in Andrew was caused by mercury in his vaccinations despite the recent claim of genetics.  The article, "Is Autism in the Genes?" provides an overview of this assumption.

When Andrew graduated from high school with honors, due to having certain accommodations, I naively thought he would make it in college.

I was WRONG!  I prayed for divine intervention.  My prayers were answered by learning about a specific green food.  I discovered a change in Andrew's diet, along with taking a daily green food supplement, made a dramatic difference.  In fact, taking this green food along with Andrew cured me of having gingivitis.  No more deep cleanings for me!

Currently, Andrew is a college student and accommodations are no longer needed.  He is making straight As!  Hard to believe, but true!  Sometimes, it is the simple things that can make the most difference.

Update as of May 17, 2008: Andrew's grades have been posted.  All As once again!  Yeah!  Andrew will continue as a (regular) full-time student in the fall 2008. What a way to go Andrew.  Mom and Dad are proud of you!
