We didn't know what the virus was, we were all scared. Everything got shut down. My son's therapy was cancelled, replaced by worthless zoom meetings. We will never get that time back. Now he is scheduled to start therapy in January, and with a heavy heart, I know it won't happen.
My son's future and development is being dictated by career politicians looking to make political gains. People don't understand how badly this is affecting families. It's not just small businesses, it's not just individual liberties, it's the hopes and dreams of parents already hanging by a thread. I just don't think I can do this anymore.
They come to my house, and it just seems that they are more about parental support. I don't see any effort towards my son. It's like they are just running out the clock to fill out their paperwork. It's not doing anything. He needs the one-on-one attention and therapy provided in a structured environment. It's just not possible now.
You're best bet is to educate yourselves. Become your son's therapists. Educating yourselves will also give you the knowledge to spot the frauds. Too many parents are taken in by treatment centers that do far more harm than good. They are ran by wackos. Stay away from Autism Speaks. They are little more than a Marxist vanguard made up of hard core leftists. Btw, its normal for autistic infants to act like neurotypical infants. It takes awhile for the brain to develop to the point were the differences are noticeable. Btw, I'm autistic. I have a very difficult time communicating. I didn't start to speak until I was well past my third birthday.
