My Son Colin has autism spectrum disorder, his form is called Asperger's Syndrome. There is no cure, but I would not really want to cure him, though it comes with many annoying characteristics, it makes him Colin.We just need to promote awareness and understanding that these kids are not badly behaved or bratty, they just process things in a completely different way from the rest of us. Thanks for your time.

Love and Light,
Pix & Family.
