Alek
I'm asking everyone who sees this to watch the short documentary film at this site. This has been our life with Alek. I can't ever seem to make people understand what things are like. Like that song Killing Me Softly this documentary is telling our story and our life. It shook me so bad I couldn't believe it. While things have improved greatly in the last year, miraculously even, we still deal with a lot of the issues. I so want people to understand when they see children acting out somewhere that it isn't always about bad behavior. Sometimes it's about a family just trying to make it through the challenges of every day life. Raising any child is difficult but sometimes it is so far beyond difficult that the weight is almost too much to bear. And knowing that I've at least tried to educated the people close to me is something to feel good about. I'd screen this for every person I know if I could. So that's my request, just take the time to watch it.

It certainly left me speechless for awhile, and tearful, too. I guess maybe even though I know Alek, and see somewhat what you must endure each day, I only deal with it for a day or two at a time, and for you it is endless. I am proud of you for the way you handle the situation. Although Alek is autistic, he is also an adorable, loving, bright little boy who deserves the best life has to offer.

I think you're right, most people handle what they have to. Our whole family is proof of that. At least now things are recognized and diagnosed. Imagine how many families in the past had children who were just labeled "trouble" and given up on.
You know, like my brother, Frank. We knew he was a bad seed.
