I truly understand how you are feeling. I feel frustrated also that no one knows the cause or cure for this. I have looked into diet and toxin overload as well as the over use of antibiotics for my son. I get frustrated easily and give up too soon with different treatments. I need to get better at follow through. Taking him off gluten seemed to help but it is a hard diet to follow and with 2 other children to feed it was hard to keep the stuff out of the house but I am still determined to give it another go. That along with removing dairy.

If I didn't already have 2 older children who have turned out pretty well adjusted then I would question my parenting ability as I did before the diagnosis. I just thought he was a brat for a while and tried everything to discipline. Knowing he has autism helps me accept the fact that he mostly can't help himself when he has meltdowns and I may never know what triggers them.

Another route I am going to try is to find a DAN (defeat autims now) doctor in my area and see what can be done from that angle. At time goes on you will know what works best for your son and for your family. Make sure you get time for yourself often because that helps a lot. Take care and email me anytime. Sharon

kerribear, I wanted to send you a hug because I know you need one. My son is the same with temper although a little better now that he has language at 7 but I still call him Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

My Diary
Diary Description: Everyday I look at my handsome two year old son a million thoughts run through my head. I try and let all my love for him beat off all the stress and heartache I feel.The thing is, I don't want to look at him and feel sad for him. I want so bad to look at him and see a normal child, and sometimes I still tell myself that maybe just maybe he is normal and he really does not have autism. I don't know when and if the pain is ever going to go away, but I want it to go away. I can't even talk to anyone about him without breaking down and crying until it hurts. I try my hardest not to think why this is happening to me or most of all him, but that thought is with me more than I want it to be. No parent ever wants anything to be wrong with their child and no parent thinks it will be their child there is something wrong with. No one can really teach you how to cope with it. But I do know one thing and that one thing keeps me going though all of this. That is my precious baby boy. I am going to do everything I can to help him and I am going to love him with all my heart. And i am never going to give up on hoping that someone will find out what causes autism and will come up with some type of cure.
