My name is Joanna. My husband Jonathan and I have two children, David, 5, and Abby, 2.
I am sending this out into cosmic nothingness hoping that there is a human on the other side reading this and can help.
David has been diagnosed with autism and mood disorder, NOS. We are attempting to educate others and advocate on David's behalf. We are having a hard time getting anyone to listen and give David what he needs. We are in desperate need of support. Our family is being torn apart and it seems as though nobody cares.
Please just visit his site and read our story.

Joanna I can relate. My
Joanna I can relate. My son is 8. He has severe
autism, he's non verbal, I mean nothing more
than an occasional mom or dad......... severe
retardation, severe seizure disorder. Every time
I go to have my glasses adjusted I tell Richard the
guy behind the counter that I'll see him again in
about three weeks because inveribly one way or
another my son will knock my glasses out of
adjustment. He bites, he scratches. What do you
want out of people honey? money? Im sure we
all care but I dont know about everybody else but
in my case at least we live on a budget. We rarely
go out. This is hard on a marriage but we've
managed to stay strong somehow some way.
My advice is pray, learn to laugh over the silly
things (like 8 year old poop ugh), have good
friends and come to this site. Im new and I
really like it. Take it easy. These kids can be alot
of fun.... so what if Im a little scarred up ugh.
