[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 55428, member: 84"] Interesting article. I dunno about anyone else, but I think of autism as more of a neurological condition than it being mental illness. It would be nice to be able to have a reversal of symptoms. But Travis had a lifetime of consistant parenting that also worked alot on his symptoms and if I'm honest with myself..... I've seen no real change in his symptoms over the years. Just an autistic child who has aged and matured. He is still far behind his peers, and at this point I doubt he will ever catch up. SRL I also get tired of hearing mostly negatives when it comes to autism. One reason I liked Travis' neuro so much is because the first thing he did after giving us the diagnosis was to tell us all of the positvie things he'd experienced with patients with the disorder. Travis can make a computer sit up and beg. He is currently running 2 web servers off his computer here and hosts tons of sites. (and that's not all) He can pick up any wind instrument and play it beautifully. There is no one more giving, loving, and loyal than Travis. He can't do simple math, but throw him the really complicated stuff and he's in heaven. Even though Travis has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), the positives seem to outweigh the negatives.
