Yvonne,

I agree with you about how most of us had childern who started out normal.
My son had over 100 words. spoke in COMPLETE sentices, ask and answered
questions, counted, knew colors, played with friends, then lost EVERYTHING!!
He isn't true born autism, he is mercury poisoned. It has taken years to get
to the bottom of this and learn the truth. Please do not give up hope, my
son is in his 2nd years of chelation and we are seeing our old son come
home. No he has yet to do one page of school work, but in the past month he
has relearned to say 2 words when ask to say them, a huge victory. He does
100's of "normal things" now that I thought was gone forever. yesterday he
went on a boat ride, he even paddled a bit when my brother showed him how.
He looked just like his cousins out on the water, something we never thought
we would see. Hang in there and remember our childern are not autistic, they
are mercury poisoned, and never ever let the general public forget that our
kids where once just like theirs and this could have happened to them as
well!! Mad mercury mom in Mississippi, Cabbie
