Can you help? What are your suggestions?
What do kids with autism want for the holidays?
What do adults with autism want to find under their tree?
What do Moms of children with autism hope to receive for Hannukah?
Are there especially great gifts for Dads of children on the autism spectrum?
What do you give the teacher or therapist who's done such a great job working with a loved one on the autism spectrum?
Have you had particularly good luck with a merchant or vendor whom you'd recommend?
Share your ideas!
a cure for autism would be nice but I realize that is crying tears for toasted snow.
Mine likes wood puzzles, cute baby dolls and DVDS with lots of music and anything her sister has. It doesn’t matter if it’s new or from a thrift store.
I have my husband and little ones. I am so blessed this year.
Now If I could only get Peace on earth, good will, great economy, much lower pollution.
How about autistic representation on boards of directors of various groups that claim they want to “help” us? Perhaps an end to that insulting puzzle piece logo?
Peace on earth seems more likely.
Let’s see…
You develop a spine and take a stand….
AgeOfIgnorance, which purports to be a newspaper,stops censoring dissent….
Dr, Geier stops coming up with lousy studies that prove nothing….
GenerationRescue realizes that there is nothing to be rescued from….
The we stop wasting money on finding a cause, and start helping families…
And, that the media stop giving “balance” to discredited ideas, like vaccines cause autism.
Jim’s right. World peace seems more likely.
I found a GREAT BOOK for young children with autism. HOWARD THE FISH is a lovable character who discovers the outside world can be a really fun place. Check http://www.jukabooks.com.
Keepin’ it real–a Wii for my daughter, both for therapy and fun. For the teacher–an activity or craft gift for the class that everyone can share.
The bigger wishes I’ll save for New Year’s.
how about some financial help….make outdoor outing more pleasant with my son
Thanks Regan
I’ve been seriously searching the net for ideas to buy something that will bring some happiness to my nephew (aspergus) and his parents for Christmas and birthday. I don’t want to buy something cliche. Most of you are too busy being sarcastic and miserable and I know its not easy. Some people really are trying to be supportive. My nephew now 13 is getting harder to buy for as he hates anything that is considered babyish. Some serious ideas would be great. thanks.
Christmas: As a mom of a special 15 year old, I would love someone with a skill in organization to come into my home and help me. Organization IS SO BIG. I would also love for someone dependable to watch my son for an hour or two so I can take the worlds longest bubble bath. OOOOHHHH.
I would also love for someone other than immediate family to come over and just spend time with him doing what HE wants to do. He loves to draw and play.
