It Doesn't Matter, As Long As You Do The Right Thing


Dr. Laura,

You have changed my life and the way I view the world. You taught me it doesn't matter what others think if you do the right thing. When my son was still severely affected by autism, and had a full blown meltdown in the grocery store or at a restaurant. You were on my shoulder, whispering in my ear. You taught me that I should only be concerned with doing what was right for my son at that moment. Not to worry about what anyone else thinks. You have influenced all I do.

My son is now an engineer at a major aerospace company and does all the things "the experts" said could never happen. His recovery was not miraculous, but the result of receiving proper medical care. When he was diagnosed, the "experts" said I would need to put him in an institution. They were wrong. Although it has been over twenty years since my son was diagnosed, it is still not common knowledge that autism is medical and treatable. An "autism" diagnosis no longer has to mean "game over" and parents don't have to helplessly watch as their children slip away. If a child's health can be restored by treating hidden viruses and infections, that is a huge win. This is the message I deliver at autism conferences across the country. I want to thank you for being with me during my darkest hours.

And finally thank you for sharing my article called "Can a Marriage Survive Autism?" on your website. That was a defining moment for me. I have watched you make difference for so many with all the things you do!
