Thoughtful House is located in Austin, and has the mission of: "Fighting for the recovery of children with developmental disorders through the unique combination of medical care, education, and research."
It takes great courage to consider the work of people like the folks at Thoughtful House, especially when pediatricians and even family members question "new thinking". When you are the parent of a child, it is wise to: "Respect and value your instincts about your child - never ignore them, no matter what anyone tells you. Holding a loved one's life in your hands means that you have to accept a position of power even when you don't want it. You must become an advocate for your child, even if it means standing alone against the world." (Karen Siff Exhorn)
That's power and responsibility, but most of all, hope!
Bless all families dealing with austism spectrum disorders. These children are warning us of the consequences of personal and environmental pollution, and we can learn so much about what clinics like Thoughtful House find effective. It could be a lesson to us all.
