Sister commented on the article |My response to that study was a loud and hearty DUH! Over the years I do think I've been able to tolerate more screaming in my face and death threats, since I'm aware they are just signs of my kid's anxiety and inability to monitor his own behavior.
But I believe the years of unabating stress have taken a toll in that I have been dianosed with fibromyalgia, which I don't even believe in. It's like my mind says, I'm doing well but my body says, I've had all I can take. -
Sister commented on the article |I love this post, Dora. It's a rare gift to be able to write well enough to let a reader experience what goes on in your head.

Sister commented on the article |I have been aware for years that all of my son's friends with Asperger's have OLDER fathers. My son attends a school for kids on the spectrum, and I've had ample opportunity to meet the other parents.
My own husband was an older father, at age 44. I think that more studies will bear this out.
However! I've also noticed that many of these older dads are somewhere on the spectrum as well. And in any case, I wouldn't trade my son for anything. He is perfect. -
Sister commented on the article |This subject is so difficult to even think about, for me. One of my son's schoolfriends is about to be placed in a residential treatment place after repeated attacks on him mother. I know this is the last thing she wanted, and she's tried so hard not to take this step.
My own kids has theatened to kill me so many times that it doesn't shock me, but now that he's twice my weight at 6 feet tall, I worry that one of us could very well get hurt.
Still, I can't imagine homelife without him. -

Actually, Heath Ledger died of a deliberate overdose of six different drugs, including opiate derivatives. (I am a journalist and cannot reveal my sources.)
We didn't hear much about Ella Travolta because there was no controversy concerning any diagnosis or treatment pertaining to her.
The loss of a child is heartbreaking beyond words.
And I'm sticking to my story. -

Nope, I'm not going to 'clarify' anything. I've seen the stories you quoted, and yet the police department is still sticking to it's original report and timeline.
If you genuinely believe that this boy was autistic, then you must agree that the Travoltas were living a lie. If they lied about their son's condition, why expect the truth about his tragic death?
Privacy is fine, except when it impinges upon the rights of a child.
That's MY story, and I'm sticking to it.
