Help Spread Awareness One Person At A Time!
Please Copy One Of These Picture Below & Put On Your Profile!!!
Heya! My Name is Krystal (EchoAngel). I have an 9 year old son named Jaren. I don't have to tell you that he is my life.
My son was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome AKA High Functioning Autism at 3 years old. He isn't stupid, actually quite the opposite, he is brilliant. He has faced a lot of challenges including delayed social skills, facial & vocal cues and body language cues were also some things that were hard for him to catch on. Fortunately, Jaren was diagnosed early and had an advantage that many children didn't. He is overcoming all obstacles one by one. Now he has also learned that everyone has things about themselves that they want to change and in time and with hard work, we all can do anything, not just children with extra challenges. He is learning what his strengths and weaknesses are. His speech skills are years ahead as well as others skills personal to him. He is my son.
I love him more than I love my own life. I thank God for His gift to me.
(Thank You Eric For Making This Picture For Me Of My Son & I. I Love It!!)
Each child is a gift from God. A child with a condition such as Autism / Asperger's is just one of many conditions that many children are born with today. I see the ignorance and the bullying that accompany any child that stands out in a crowd that seems a bit different or unique.
I just want to point out that though our children are all different and unique. We all have disabilities. Some not as noticeable as others.
I am so proud of child that will stick up for a younger sibling. This isn't easy at all. I am also so proud of our children who have outward disabilities and still face the outside world. Outside the protective 'bubble' of family and friends and face the world with a smile.
We all know how children can be mean and how peer pressure and bullying is. I feel that with a bit of education and knowledge... it will go along way.
Curious about Autism? Want to know more? Your appetite for information will be more than satisfied if you sit through, read, or tape CNN's full 24 hours of autism coverage, planned for April 2 (World Autism Awareness Day).

So with the help of some dear and wonderful people we have decided to help support and spread the word about our children and loved ones. To help people understand that our children are not stupid. They just need a bit of compassion, patience, and understanding so that these special angels can get their messages out. Their voices heard.
