I'm looking for parents who are willing to discuss how they REALLY FEEL. Because of what I have read on the internet the last 7 years, is to me not beeing honest with their feelings.
I know first hand, my daugther is 7 yrs old. I love her to death. I don't ever think about the future because were will she be when I'm 80. I'm 40 now and it's already impossible for 2 people to take care of her. So I just make it my life. and do thin
s when she's in school like (normal parents of normal kids.) I could never put her in a residential house. Even if it's like the Westchester Country Club. So I'm on anti-depressents. And need to take Xanax sometimes. When she comes home from school 1/
hour later, I get a nervous cough. I feel my blood pressure is high, which I take pressure pills for as well. Dressing my daughter in the morning and getting her on the bus is hell.
Once she's on the bus, I feel like I've just been through boot camp.
The strange thing is I love being in my house when my husband is working and my daughter is in school. It's so quiet. What I don't understand is that's when I start to cry and feel guilty because I yelled at her because she fights you getting dressed.
nd what's more strange is I really start to miss her 2 hours later.
I know every other parent feels isolated from normal daily activity to do with kids. I felt robbed of being a mother when she was a baby/toddler. I felt like a therpist, not a mommy.
OK, I feel better. It's good to vent your anger.
I stopped going to support groups because I just can't her these mother's talk about how they tried to make the day better with positive thinking. I know first hand all you parents feel like me.
One thing I recommed is the medication called resperdol. I was told by doctors, teachers, friends, that she should be on medication. I felt I had no right to give her drugs that plays with the seretoin in her brain. I know how I felt when I went on Ser
one, my anti-depressent.
However, it was my choice. But by the time she was 6yrs old I couldn't take the noises from her:
like shaking her head side to side with a chanting noice, very soprano too. This medication is wonderful. Its not ritilin (sp?) It makes her more focused, she will ask to go to sleep at night,and most of all not too hyper anymore.
Well, I think I've said enough. Anyone who want to email me can at Butch5493@gateway.net (Butch is my dogs name!)

Comments:
I have just joined this very valuable list of you working on the same concerns as we are...thank you all for making this site as powerful as it is. There are several voices I would like to respond to as time allows but for now I think it better to introdu
e who we are.We are in the beginning stages of setting up a group home/ supported living environment for our son and others on land we have purchased outside of Seeley Lake,Mt. Our main focus,as all parents would be, is to provide the environment that bes
serves our son's need and hopefully will serve others as well. Our son,David, is 19 years old with multiple diagnoses. He falls under the classification of Autism, mild to moderate retardation,emotional disturbance and psycotic disorder (agressive type).
avid is a very social and charming young man 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time he needs direct help with anger and anxiety management skills. As far as we know to date he will probably require a supervised and sheltered living and work environmen
for his lifetime. Our goal is to build four sepate homes in a campus setting with each resident having a private bedroom and sharing a bathroom with one other resident. There will be four residents per home. Our hope is that the population will include b
th male and female residents and be a community for all to enjoy projects together. We realize that each person will have their own talents and needs and because of this we wish to start(and perhaps stay) small with a total of 16 residents. This community
will be built on the foundation of respect , acceptance and love for each unique individual. It will be a place where the residents will have the opportunity to enjoy work in a sheltered place and have access to varios forms of recreation and multiple the
apies that they may find benefit in. There will be adequate,trained staff to provide safty and help and encouragement.We hope to draw from the local and surrounding communities for this staff and are fortunate to have professionals from our area who are w
lling to train and set up the project for success from the start...these people have been of great help to our son and have many years experience in this field. We hope to draw many professionals together to further understand methods of communication tha
will help our children live peaceful and productive lives.As many parents know, it is hard to hard to find a nice living environment for our children as they get older where they feel it belongs to them and their needs are truely met and the concerns of
he parents are not only heard but addressed.We want the ranch to become that place and serve as a working model for others. The research will focus on improving our ability to communicate more effectively and to understand how to listen to people with aut
sm and other challenges. We will be working with the M.I.N.D. Institute associated with the University of California,Davis Campus to reach this goal.( Medical Investigation of Neurological Disorders). This is a brief overview of our intentions and not a c
mplete mission statement. We know perameters will have to be set on whom we can serve but for now they are unclear and will have to be clarified as we grow.The projected date for opening is late 2001.We are very interested in talking with other parents wh
think a place like this would be helpful in future plans.

I am glad I ran into this site! I am a teacher at a child care and I am concerned about one of my students. She has been in my care for about 8 months now and she has yet to talk to me, other teachers or the children. She does not play with the other ch
ldren, but sometimes will play around them. This child will be 4 in may. Although she doesn't talk to me, recently she has begun to nod or shake her head when I ask her a question. She does however talk with her mom and dad. She is very bright! When I
sk her to show me a certain number, shape, color or letter, she can point to the right one. She even goes home and tells her parents everything we learned in class. So I know she understands everything we do in class. She just isn't talking or interacting
with anyone at the center.
When I asked about her behavior, someone told me she could be autistic. Could she be? Or could she just be a strong willed child? Could this just be a game for her? She is with me for about 4-5 hours a day (not including nap time). This is a long time fo
a child to go without talking.
Can anyone help me with this? Please e-mail me right away!
Thanks,

QSAC HISTORY AND MISSION
QSAC is an award winning not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing educational, behavioral, residential, recreational and respite services to individuals with autism, pervasive developmental disorder, or another developmental disability with auti
tic-like features, throughout the New York City area.
QSAC was established in 1978 by a group of concerned parents of children with autism. These parents strongly believed that people with autism were capable of living at home and, in some cases, participating in normal social activities, forming relationsh
ps, seeking and maintaining employment and becoming productive and integrated members of their communities. The founders of QSAC were determined to serve the needs of their children, and those that followed, by providing a cost-effective, community-based
alternative to life long institutionalization. Through their commitment and energy, QSAC was born.
QSAC’s goal is to provide direct services that help children and adults to reach their full potential and thus lead a more productive, independent and fulfilled life. QSAC also offers programs for parents that educate, inform and offer occasional relief
rom the day to day care of their children with autism. Today, twenty years since its inception, QSAC, working with the Autism Society of America, Queens Chapter, is a leader in the provision of services to people with autism in New York City.
QSAC receives funding from the New York State Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, the New York City Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Alcoholism Services, the New York State Department of Health, the New York Sta
e Education Department, the New York City Board of Education, Medicaid and the United Way of New York. Additional funding is also obtained through foundations, corporations, and individuals. QSAC currently provides services to more than 500 families. H
wever, due to funding insufficiencies, QSAC simply can not provide services to all of the families in need. QSAC currently has a waiting list of families requesting services.
Recently, QSAC received a Citation of Honor from Queens Borough President Claire Shulman’s Task Force on People with Disabilities for its commitment to the developmentally disabled. QSAC was also instrumental in proclaiming the month of January as "Autis
Awareness Month" in Queens.
For more information about QSAC or on how we can help you please call us at 718-728-8476.

I, along with my aunt, are searching for a suitable home for my cousin. He is 15, and is MH-- he is autistic and severely mentally disabled. He is getting violent and out of control, so that my aunt and I can no longer care for him adequately, and this
rompts my search. Any info at all is greatly appreciated.

I have strugled all my life with Autism I still get very mad some times.

In response to the previous guestbook entry: Yes, the information on the website is applicable to people with various types of disabilities. As a parent of an adult with autism, I felt that most of the websites on autism neglected the issue of where & h
w our sons & daughters would live as adults & I wanted to address that issue. I also wanted to create a forum where parents could share their ideas & experiences of what works & what doesn't work, etc. I've also included articles and links to websites t
at I feel are relevant, but the information is not strictly limited to people with autism. Eventually, the theme of the website will be changed to specifically include people with other disabilities. But for now the website will remain as is (Autism Co
munity), because I don't have time to make those changes.

I have been an active participant on this list for
sometime (when my computer or ISP isn't acting up) and feel it has the potential to serve a very needed purpose. As the father of a 41 year-old blind/autistic/non-verbal young man who resides with me and my wife, we are concerned about his future living
rrangements when we are no longer able (or around) to care for him. His unique physical impairments make it doubly difficult for him to acclimate to new or lesser surroundings. An equally important concern, is the attendent care he requires. Hopefully,
we will eventually find someone who will take on this responsibility in caring manner, and who might appreciate the quality of life his Special Needs Trust may provide. Having been actively involved in California (and New York,) I am keenly aware of the
oning and other local restrictions imposed on living arrangements for non-related individuals,
however, my experience has proven that these can be overcome given the right rationale. I would be most eager to hear from any other parents of a similarly impaired child and would be pleased to exchange experiences.
