Autism
About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

Some of you may be aware of the fact that my 13 year old son, Christopher, has Asperger Syndrome (AS), which is considered a "high functioning" form of Autism. Individuals with AS can exhibit a variety of characteristics and the disorder can range from mild to severe. Persons with AS show marked deficiencies in social skills, have difficulties with transitions or changes and prefer sameness. They often have obsessive routines and may be preoccupied with a particular subject of interest.
I am are very committed to doing whatever I can to help further research efforts for those individuals afflicted with Autism..

I have traveled all over the world.. I've been to Spain, Italy and North Africa. Seeing other countries is amazing!!! Everyone should try at least once in their life-time.
I love to laugh and joke. Some people take my humor to a serious level, when I am really just kidding. Which is really funny to me..
I love to sing and write....I really have tough skin..So it is very hard for someone to get to know the real me. Being hurt can cause a person to put a protective wall up. With that wall in place, you can miss out on meeting some wonderful people. That wall is coming down a little, where people can see my heart and soul. With showing my heart and soul I can finally have some positive people in my life.
I can really relate to Gavin DeGraw lyrics:
I don't want to be Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately. All I have to do Is think of me and I have peace of mind. I'm tired of looking 'round rooms Wondering what I've got to do Or who I'm supposed to be. I don't want to be anything other than me....
Your Birthdate: February 20
You are a virtual roller coaster of emotions, and most people enjoy the ride.
Your mood tends to set the tone of the room, and when you're happy, this is a good thing.
When you get in a dark mood, watch out - it's very hard to get you out of it.
It's sometimes hard for you to cheer up, and your gloom can be contagious.
Your strength: Your warm heart
Your weakness: Trouble controlling your emotions
Your power color: Black
Your power symbol: Musical note
Your power month: February What Does Your Birth Date Mean?
You are 67% Pisces
How Pisces Are You?

Finding a cure for "AUTISM"...

What is Autism
Facts about Autism


Autism is a lifelong, neurological disorder that significantly affects how a person perceives the world, interacts with other people, and communicates.It is often referred to as a spectrum disorder, meaning the symptoms and characteristics of autism can present themselves in a wide variety of combinations, from mild to severe. Autism and its associated disabilities such as Asperger Syndrome and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) occur in approximately 1 out of every 250 individuals. Autism is four times more prevalent in boys than in girls and knows no racial, ethnic, or social boundaries.There is no single, specific cause of autism. In many families there appears to be a pattern of autism or related disabilities - which suggests there is a genetic basis to the disorder - although no single gene has been directly linked to autism.Autism is treatable. Early diagnosis, intervention, and a system of support are vital to the future development of the child.


* 1 in 150 children is diagnosed with Autism
* 1 in 104 boys is on the Autism Spectrum
* 67 children are diagnosed per day
* A new case is diagnosed almost every 20 minutes
. * More children will be diagnosed with Autism this year than with AIDS, diabetes, and cancer combined.

Chaka Khan has a grandchild who has been diagnosed with Autism..

Toni Braxton son Diezel has been diagnosed with autism.

I'd like to meet:


People who can relate to having a child who has been diagnosed with AUTISM. Also, individuals who want to bring awareness to AUTISM.
I would also like to meet individuals who are real, and not fake.

I would like to meet the other side of my family, whom I never met before..I will never feel like a whole person, until I find that missing link of my life..
