Remember that weeping may endure for a night, but, joy cometh in the morning. I pray that GOD who holds all power in HIS hands will bring you peace and comfort. Remember to keep your eyes on the Lord and he supply your EVERY need. I have a son diagnosed with pdd(nos). These labels don't mean a thing to me because GOD created them the way HE wanted them. Through them HE will get the glory. I know what you are going through and It is hard. You are your son's best advocate. Maybe we can compare ideas and help each other. I am where you are right now and you don't have to do it alone.

NoRegrets721 - 3 months ago: thank you so much - yes your right joy does come in the morning . All i can do is continue to hold onto god without him i am nothing

I have a son with mild cerebral palsy, so I understand. I am not sure what the special education laws are in Brooklyn, but maybe the school counselor would be able to provide you with information and advocacy resources? What grade is he in? IN Calif. no one really tells you the laws because everything comes down to money. Check to see if your son can get services through a "Regional Center" they can provide you with an advocate and funding to help you get your son to specialists, they should also have a group of specialists that can get services like different types of therapy your son can get through the school system. If you need some help or just need to talk about having a child with a diagnoses feel free to email me. burgandy7@yahoo.com Type in Son with Autism in the title of the message. Maybe I can give you some ideas of where to turn and try and help you reseach this too? I am sure you are quite capable, but I was where you were too... my son is 18. I am still dealing with tons of stuff, but love to help others learn their resources. You have many rights that the education system has not told you about.

I will pray for your guidence, peace and strength with this. I feel there are others out there that can help, you just have to discover them!

NoRegrets721 - 5 months ago: thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement . i feel so lost . the school system doesnt inform parents of much . my son is going to elementary in september . and he gets so anxious being in huge crowds...but the school i was interested in requires approval from the comittee . it is basically all about money . god will make a way for my son ...just as he makes a way for all his children . thank you so much for your words . god bless !
Burgandy - 5 months ago: You are welcome. I have walked where you are walking and understand how lost you must feel. In my state, the schools have to accept a certain percentage of children with special needs. In CA they can't turn you away, even though they might try and tell you different. I have found a few web links that may help. My strongest suggestion would be to find out what agencies in your area help children with Autism. http://www.vesid.nysed.gov/specialed/autism/ http://www.vesid.nysed.gov/specialed/privateschools/853in.htm Try these links, I hope they transfer onto this site. Please feel free to contact me and I will help you from this end as well.
Burgandy - 5 months ago: You can also look up "Temple Grandin" She has Asperger's Syndrome, another form of Autism. She explains what it's like to be Autistic. (If you haven't already done so.) Again, let me know if you need anything? I am praying that you get all of this sorted out and you don't have to do it alone. There are resources out there. You have to be persistent! I know you already are as a Mom.

Lord God, I come before you with a simple request that is by no means difficult for you, I pray that you will show yourself to be the true and awesome God that we serve, that through the miracle that you are about to do in the lives of these two children of yours they will know that it is through we live, breath and have our being. I pray that when faith seems lacking because of those thick clouds it is just you asking, begging, longing for us to look up to You and truely trust you. Lord, I pray for your calming peace to be all over these two, knowing full well if you can care for the birds of the air then how much more do you care for these two that are your very own. I seal this prayer with the precious name that is above all other names-the precious name of Jesus.

May today be all you need it to be. May the peace of God and the freshness of the Holy Spirit rest in your thoughts, rule in your dreams tonight, and conquer all your fears. May God manifest himself today in ways you have never experienced. May your joys be fulfilled, your dreams be closer, and your prayers be answered. I pray that faith enters a new height for you; I pray that your territory is enlarged. I pray for peace, healing, health, happiness, prosperity, joy, true and undying love for God.
