Antonio and Autism Alive!

Tweet

Autism -Pervasive developmental disorder - autism

Autism is a developmental disorder that appears in the first 3 years of
life, and affects the brain's normal development of social and communication
skills. [Read More]

"ANTONIO AND AUTISM ALIVE"
Written by: Bernice VENOM Brown

He's the love of my life and I wouldn't have it any other way. Born three months premature, weighing only one pound & ten ounces with water on the brain, fluid in the lungs, three holes in his heart,kidney stones and a double hernia. Autism doesn't stand a chance up against this little warrior.

(Antonio at age 18; March 2011)

Although I was a young mother I always knew
he'd be different from my other children. By seven months, he wasn't cooing or following me with his eyes and would hardly ever cry. I continuously took him back and forth to the pediatric clinic with my concerns. They'd brush me off by saying "all children are different, he'll catch up soon". I wouldn't take "NO" for an answer. I knew my son was more than delayed. By age one, he was still in a baby carrier and was a long way from walking and talking. The quest for
answers became an urgency and my first priority in my life.

As a self-employed hair stylist, I chose not to send him to a daycare, due to him being attached to a heart monitor. Most of the providers were frightened by the presence of the machine. Therefore, I began using home made remedies. Every day, I'd make it a habit to sit him in front of the television to watch Telly Tubbies and Sesame Street. I brought him toys that were verbal or colorful; such as See-N-Says, Simon Says, V-Tech, computers and Leap Frogs. I got a head start on educating him and was NOT going to wait on any educational system to back me. I was ready for what was to come in the near future.

By age two, he was diagnosed with Autism and the first form of treatment offered to me was a pharmaceutical medication called Ritalin. My question to the doctors, "if there's no cure, why the drugs". Silence... I brought my baby back home and continued on my never ending quest to educate him by any means necessary; WITHOUT drugs. My home was filled with words, music and love. The rest is history in the making; as we are currently working on our joint project titled, "ANTONIO AND AUTISM ALIVE". A book of poems written by myself, photos of Antonio from birth to now, and artwork from Antonio Canady Jr.

My motto: "The CURE for Autism is LOVE!"

More videos of Antonio

Know the warning signs and OPT "NO" to medicating our babies. Be hands on and an active advocate for your own child. Stop depending on the school system to do it alone. Be their first educators! Be their first friend! BE A PARENT AND DO YOUR JOB!!! This is ANTONIO AND AUTISM ALIVE!!!
