THE LORD IS AT OUR DOOR
"Mateo 24:3 Más tarde estaba Jesús(...)cuando llegaron los discípulos y le preguntaron en privado:
—¿Cuándo sucederá eso, y cuál será la señal de tu venida y del fin del mundo?"
Más adelante Jesús contesta:
"Mateo 24:34 De cierto os digo, que no pasará ESTA generación, que todas estas cosas no acontezcan."
Les pregunto: ¿Por qué Jesús dice "esta generación" (dirigiéndose claramente a su audiencia inmediata) si se estaba refiriendo a una generación futura?
NEVER ALONE
CONSTANTEMENTE LE ACLAMO AL SENOR POR FORLALEZA PARA SEGUIR UN DIA MAS EN ESTE ESTADO DE IMPERFECCION QUE ME MOLESTA DE DIA A DIA .....
LA ASEGURANZA QUE EL SENOR DESDE LOS CIELOS ME HACE SENTIR ES INCREIBLE PUES COMO DISE LA CANCION , CONFIO EN LO QUE NO VEO PUES LO SIENTO TAN SECA DE MI ES INCREIBLE Y SORPRENDENTE SU PRESENCIA , ES POR ESO QUE NUNCA ESTOY SOLA .
JUNTO A TI SENOR QUIERO ESTAR TODOS LOS DIA DE MI VIDA HASTA QUE ESTE DELANTE DE TU PRESENCIA PARA PODER SIGUIENDOTE Y AGRADECERTE LOS REGALOS QUE HAS BRINDADO A MI VIDA .
RAISE MY LORD JESUS CHRIST

What is an Autism Advocate?
What is an Autism Advocate?
What is an Autism Advocate?An advocate is a person who argues for a cause; a supporter or defender who pleads in another's behalf. You are your child's advocate and finding the appropriate services and supports for your child is part of your responsibilities. Becoming an advocate is not something that happens overnight. It is something that you learn about as you continue to deal with the day-to-day experiences and challenges of raising a child with special needs.Some people think that being an advocate means that you must have an aggressive, persistent personality; therefore, they feel that they cannot be an effective advocate. It is important to know that although some people choose to advocate in that fashion, others choose to take a softer approach. As one parent puts it, she has found that "a little honey goes a long way" in her experiences of advocating for her son's many needs. As long as your approach works positively for you, your child, and the provider of the services, you are an effective advocate.Just as different people use different approaches, different situations require different approaches. Sometimes you may feel that you have exhausted all efforts and need help with advocating for your child's needs. You can find help through other parents, lay advocates (people with specialized knowledge and expertise), advocacy groups organizations, advocacy agency.The following is a list of common advocacy skills. The complete list can be found on the Wrightslaw Web site. Although the list on the Wrightslaw Web site is geared toward special education advocacy, the skills can be applied to all types of advocacy.An advocate:
PROFILEPOUNDER.COM
* gathers facts and information
* learns about available services and the procedures to obtain these services
* knows about their legal rights
* realizes that planning prevents problems
* keeps written records
* is not afraid to ask questions and listens carefully to answers
* defines and describes problems from all angles
* offers solutions to the problem or issue that offer a "win-win" situation for all involvedOnce parents have gained experience as an advocate, many choose to become advocates for other families by becoming parent mentors or by working as lay advocates for organizations or state agencies. Some parents are paid for their efforts while others volunteer to help.

Denial and AUTISM!!!!
According to webster DENIAL means the following :
1. refusal to admit the truth or reality ...
2. a psychological defense mechanism in which confrontation with a personal problem or with reality is avoided by denying the existence of the problem or reality...
I deal with many parents every month that are dealing with this issue in their life , After the diagnosis of AUTISM has become a reality to them . It is normal for a parent to try to fall in the DENIAL process . I know in my personal jurney with AUTISM I had some denial but honestly I had it for a few hours , I thank God for that . As per my husband he never had denial at all . He embrassed the situation with our kids with an open heart . So it's normal for a parent to go through this process but it becomes dangerous for the child and the parent when after a few months or years the parent does nothing to improve the life of the child .
After coming acrows with a few parents who have decided to block themselves from what is real . I have come up with a list of things parents have used as an excuse t o either not give services to their kids or not follow the DAN protocol . Here they are :
1. It is only a speech problem .....
2. My kids is just too active that is all ....
3. He/She will be just fine , We just have to give it time .....
4. It's too much school they are too little....
5. They tell me it is just very mild!!!!.
Now these are only the top 5 , I can't do any more cause really there is too many excuses and I don't have that much time right now for that. But I have as well come up with atop 5 reason's why you should stop think and react to your diagnosis , If you are interested please read on .
1. Early intervention is the key to success with our children . If we have a child who is either not speaking or who has a speech delay . It is very important to first have them assest by the proper person . Once the assestmnent has been completed it is only fair for the child that we ask the speech therapist to explain the findings and to let you know at what level of speech our kid is in comparison to their peers . This is important to be able to address the issue strongly.
We should never settle for once aweek or just let the school deal with it . You should be concerned with your child speech and should be looking in other ways to get speech from none profit organizations via the insurance . Pay for it if you can . But do it at least 3 hours per week . Specially for a just diagnosed child .
If you intent to do biomedical and you should . Get yopurself a good DAN doctor and follow the protocol . and start with the following : Vitamin B6- B12 Cod liver oil ,omega 3, HBOT, Super-nuthera... GFCF DIET and nutrition
2. Activity in our kid is usually normal cause of the fact that it is either of 2 things one is Hiperactivity disorder or the main one , Sensory issues . I ususally go with number 2 the sensory problems . These problems will never go away but can be dealt with .
Do yo uhave a kids that just can't sit still is touching everything and putting all things in their mouth or climbing ETC. well this child is a sensory seeker like my alanis and yo u need sensory therapy that will help regulate his sensory overload . this therapy can be done by parents at home but clinical therapy is better at least 2 times peer week .
This child might as well be having some anxiety too so you migth want to try the following .
The Dan protocal calls for the already mentioned on 1 and add DMG/TMG or a supplement by Planetary Herbals called Calm Child .
3.What are we giving time to??. Our kids with autism have something called regretion . This means if we don't constantly teach they will stop learning .
4.What is too much ?. All medical profesionals and therapist with no exception tells a parent that there is never too much of any therapy . The more the better .
5.MILD!!!. ASD stands for Autism Spectrum Disorder . The spectrum is the following :
Severe ** Mild ***PDD *** High fuctioning *** Apergers
Regardless of where in the spectrum your child is all of the above mentioned are excellent and should be address seriously .
If you are a parent who is in denial I ask you to please be strong and make the right change for your child . I didn't even mentioned all of the things that can be done but here is a few places you c an go for guidance :
