YOU GET IT. Thanks!<BR/><BR/>We did not know about our Autism 'problem' until our youngest was nearly two. But even so we always prayed after the birth of a child to know if their were any more children to join our family.<BR/><BR/>Until Mary was born we did not get the feeling that we were done. Now we know why. For God's own purposes these children were to be in our family. To be loved by Robin and I. <BR/><BR/>We don't care what the rest of the world says. We love them and feel blessed to have them be our children.Dadof6Autistickidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08872142455240124466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33596809.post-47876250005660030892008-04-17T21:29:00.000-07:002008-04-17T21:29:00.000-07:00Thanks, Jeanette, for your comments.

We did, however, except each child as the individual they are.<BR/>People who call us names or try to discredit our families in any way are just insecure in their feelings about their parenting. People do not like the fact that we thrive as a family unit when they are falling apart.<BR/>Thanks for the kind words about our family on your blog....<BR/>Best to you and your family.<BR/>Jeanette O'DonnellMom26childrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13218226918121229676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33596809.post-43605018137902062972008-04-06T21:09:00.000-07:002008-04-06T21:09:00.000-07:00anon:Actually, on my post "The Worst of CNN's Cove...anon:<BR/><BR/>Actually, on my post "The Worst of CNN's Coverage," you'll find links to autism and the Amish. There ARE cases of autism in the Amish community. I strongly feel more awareness and better diagnosis is what's reflected in these higher statistics of autism cases. Children are no longer being labeled as "mentally retarded," "schizophrenic," or any of the other many diagnoses children often received, who would be be deemed autistic. Also, how many more children are being classified as having asperger's or HFA, that perhaps in the past would be seen as shy, quirky, etc? All of this must be considered when we look at these numbers.<BR/><BR/>I will also add, I am for the reduction in toxins in our environment. We eat almost all organic foods, use organic cleaners, etc. And, I also feel, some children are more sensitive to environmental factors. I also feel it's possible some children are misdiagnosed with autism or adhd, when they truly have severe allergies and/or sensitivities.<BR/><BR/>The bottom line is this: when it comes to autism, the questions raised far outweigh the answers.S.L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07862458535714883672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33596809.post-83907695750355549222008-04-06T17:38:00.000-07:002008-04-06T17:38:00.000-07:001) the incidence of autism has increased smoothly...1) the incidence of autism has increased smoothly, implacably, from 1 in 10,000 worldwide - when my first child was diagnosed autistic - to 1 in 150 today, 19 years later. That is a doubling every 3.16 years. Implacably, annually increasing 20%.<BR/><BR/>2) Autism is not “caused by” anything genetic. Nothing in the human genome is doubling every four years. Changing the genetic structure takes tens of thousands of years.<BR/><BR/>3) Autism is not “caused by” Thimerisol in inoculations. We stopped that years ago, and the autism epidemic grows unchanged. Russia banned thimerisol 20 years ago, and Denmark banned it in 1992… and the autism incidence there increased the same as everywhere else in the world. It was banned in the US since 1999… and the autism incidence grows at 20% a year. THIMERISOL CAUSES AUTISM LIKE VITAMINS CAUSE PREGNANCY. Lots of people take vitamins before pregnancy strikes. Lots of people inoculate their children at 3, and autism is usually diagnosed at 3.<BR/><BR/>4) That leaves only a single possible theory: something in the environment, wherever plastic and cellphones and Teflon are used, is doubling in either potency or concentration every four years, worldwide.<BR/>There is not a logically possible alternative.<BR/><BR/>5) In closing:<BR/>Amish do not get autism.<BR/>1 in 79 Mormons boys in Utah gets autism.<BR/>Can we pay attention to the only important thing: look for the environmental differences?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33596809.post-42060143014440189462008-04-03T07:46:00.000-07:002008-04-03T07:46:00.000-07:00Anon:I added to my entry, I had published it accid...Anon:<BR/><BR/>I added to my entry, I had published it accidentally. I doubt any of that changes your perspective though. Another thing worth noting is that some of the Kirtons' & mom26children's kids were not diagnosed until they were older. And, to these families, their children are blessings.<BR/><BR/>Last time I checked, we lived in America, where we area all afforded the freedoms of religion and expression. Women also have the freedom of choice here as well. <BR/><BR/>Are you recommending we follow China's laws on how many children we can have?<BR/><BR/>http://geography.about.com/od/populationgeography/a/onechild.htmS.L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07862458535714883672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33596809.post-47435387232911578312008-04-02T21:39:00.000-07:002008-04-02T21:39:00.000-07:00When you say that Kirtons kept having children bec...When you say that Kirtons kept having children because they "LOVE" them, it sounds like you are talking about candy: I LOVE candy, so I am going to have more and more. But, we are also responsible for our own children. We are to judge our abilities and their needs and work hard to match these. Now, Kirtons do not have the resources to effectively provide for so many kids with very special needs. I can only imagine how exhausted they are by the end of the day from taking care only of the basic needs of their family. How can they help their children develop? How can they help them learn? Three of the kids aren't even covered by medical insurance. John has four children from a previous marriage. Did he feel he was going to be able to provide for more and more?<BR/>Having kids is not about "LOVE" - it is also about responsibility. And first and foremost, it is our responsiblity totake care of own offsprings, not the society's, not the community's, teachers' or volunteers'. I wish people understood that before letting LOVE take over reason 6 times in a row.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
