A lil help from our friends

 It just never seems to amaze me, the lack of knowing how to help a family in need. I know of many people who have set up fundraising events for people in Haiti, and that is very giving and nice. BUT why can we not help the people we know??? Why is it so hard to help the people in America, right on your street that need help? Not sure, BUT it seems we all could make much more of an impact on society and the human world race if we helped our own people first. "Our own people" translation: there are people, MILLIONS, right here in the US that NEED help and assistance on a daily basis. There are people here that have been struck with a natural FAMILY disaster AND are left TOTALLY ALONE to deal with it. Autism is a LIFE LONG DISABILITY, did you hear the life long part?? And for some of us, it's not just a quirky kid with loads of information in their heads. For some of us, my family included, it takes DAILY work to stop my child from harming himself and others, trying to get some form of communication to know his NEEDS,  trying to teach him to eat with silverware and to stay seated, to eat more than just crunchy foods, stopping him from biting holes in his arms or ramming his head through another wall, trying to keep him from running out into ONCOMING traffic, stopping him from abusing the dog and his little brother AND TRYING TO GET OTHERS TO NOT THINK HE IS AN UNTOUCHABLE.

 Just imagine how much of an impact you could make on ONE child that really needs it. Imagine how my son would be if he was only accepted and respected. Not just talked about and left alone. He is a person and loves to be treated that way. He loves to play and be included, you might have to give in to his desires but he gives in to ours everyday. You think he wants to act like us, if he did it wouldn't be so hard for him. He doesn't want anything but love from people, LOVE, is that really that hard????

 I personally am now filling, AND I DO IT WITH EASE AND LOVE, the roles of a village. It was once understood that it takes a village to raise ONE child. Well village I have a question, WHERE HAVE YOU GONE?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 Not one person EVER offers to take either of my kids to get ice cream or to the park. not one person, offers to cook us a meal and spend time with us, there is NOT one person that I feel I can call and ask for support or help.... NOT ONE.(except my autism momma friends, but they are JUST as overwhelmed)

 My husband has influenced MANY people with his music and insight. He has taught people and helped them to expand their musical ways. He has taught them the truth of health, wealth and knowledge. He has also helped MANY in financial ways, including his own "brother". And now that he needs help or a friend to talk to, where are they??? Nowhere to be found. Now that he has been all used up, guess he isn't of use to the people he has helped so much over the years. 

WE SHOULD HELP PEOPLE HERE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. IT IS UP TO EACH INDIVIDUAL ON THE PATH THEY ARE GONNA WALK. A PATH OF SELF,SELF, SELF OR A PATH OF SELFLESS, SELFLESS, SELFLESS. THE CHOICE IS YOURS, CHOOSE WISELY IT'S ALL A TEST. 

~~the nothings,

one more autism family, these are our feeling and tales
