As a mother you know when something is not quite right with your children. I knew from the second my third child was born that something was just not the way it should be. I tried everything I could to make the doctor’s pay attention but I think that they just wrote it up as a new mother situation. I was not a new mother though and I knew something was different. It took me doing my own research and finding the definition of autism when it struck me that this could be what is going on with my child and now I have the doctor’s attention.
