All those M&M ice cream cones, McDonald’s, and other industrialized “food” along with geoengineering (vaccines and aluminum-coated-fiberglass being sprayed in the air), watching practically nothing but The Price Is Right all the time, and aluminum, vaccines, psychiatry and modern “education” made this poor child into a violent monster who can’t even know why his actions are so criminal. He doesn’t have the mental capacity. He didn’t want to hurt his mom - he attacked her because of STOMACH PAIN “tummy hurt” in his own words. We all know about the gut-brain connection in autism, along with autistic children having the highest aluminum concentrations ever discovered in human brains.

He was supposed to be eating raw organic fermented vegetables, germinated organic pulses, nuts and seeds (not loaded with glyphosate or genetic engineering), and grass fed organic dairy especially kefir and yogurt, not industrial CAFO Great Reset garbage.

The technocrats and ultra wealthy want us eating disgusting lab grown meat, bugs, “sustainable net zero carbon” foods, and even worse they want to ban all farming and keeping of pets to “reduce carbon levels”.

America, the UK, Australia, and other nations are rapidly turning into third world countries, fueled largely by the deadly vaccine industry, sponsored by the Rockefeller’s, U.N., WHO, and Bill Gates.

The woke left neurodiversity movement WANTS violent destructive raging screaming out of control autistics to fulfill their normalization agendas and to force society to blindly accept a very severe spectrum of life-threatening developmental disorders destroying our schools, families, homes, and communities.

No one has any right, regardless of disability, to terrorize or injure some one else. The solution is institutionalize them BEFORE they injure some one. You simply can not have it both ways.

It is interesting that the neurodiversity movement has been pretty much silent on Sky Walker and other issues pertaining to severe autism.

I'd be curious to hear an update to this story. I wonder whatever happened to him. And where was his Dad when all this was going on?

“The law” should have protected Sky Walker from vaccine adverse reactions.
“The law” should have provided medical treatments for his "autism."
“The law” should have provided his mother with a better support system.
“The law” should discourage or punish people who try to normalize government-mandated, pharma-induced brain damage.

Th law applies to everyone, autistic or not. People need to be protected.

Where can I find the update to this story? I haven't seen what the outcome was for this young man.

I have a nephew with autism among other conditions and am searching for answers found this story. My Sister adopted a son who is now around 10 years old. They visit often and I see him go in and out of fits which usually he goes in the room and slams the door. He will not speak to you nor does he want comfort. He is angry. It is very hard to deal with this because my sister does not like you to interfere and the way she handles him is all wrong. But the kid in the picture in the mask, well if they gave him his meds he would be fine in 20 mintues and could have sat dorment. These kids are usually quiet in like a wedding or church or function. My nephew will sit with folded hands or with his DS toy. But at family functions he now bothers little children, so we can't have him around other children. How can we do this without hurting my sister feelings? who by the way seems to cast each situation aside in the back of her mind and move forward like it didnt' happen and it is now unimportant because "Oh that was a long time ago". It is very hard to be a family member looking in from outside and her support group does not consult the rest of the family members regarding this situation which is worse each year. I like the post up above where the people have 3 children left work, stay at home and work without meds and take shifts. Unfortunatly she has a husband who just hides in his room and also has some mental issues of his own. I feel bad for these Moms who love their children as Ilove my Nephew too. They don't know what love is however, and they think if someone dies, that they pop back to life like a cartoon or a video game. they have these violent ds games they play and they actually think super heros are real. But I have been threatened and so has my Mom and My husband by this child. His eyes go crazy and his voice goes deep and he wants to kill you. He gets bigger by the year. What does one outside the situation do? we just wait and hope that someday he does not kill or harm my sister. "feeling helpless" Only think I can do is pray to God for answers.

This is such a tragedy both mother and son are victims.

Hello,
I am sorry for both mom and her son.
However I am a father of 3, yes Three! autistic boys, under 14 years and all they need to keep calm, have a great life and do not become violent is to love them.
And i mean it.
You mother and father, will need to forget your personal life, and everything about it, and just care the kids, 100% of the time, for the rest of their lives.
So simply, so demanding. so devastating, so important, so serious.
And for me was and is not a problem, never was, and never shall be.
My solution was:
Quit my nice, well paid, 9x5 job, and start work from home, when they sleep at night, as I got used to sleep just few hours a day or I just have few hours of rest when my wife take her shift, and I am so tired I can´t afford to continue waked.
In fact we both work from home, now, we DO NOT have any private health care, however we are using the city support health care when needed, and we invest 100% of our non-working at home time just with them, in short shifts.

We had learnt tby the hard way how to deal with tantrums and how to diffuse it easily, by just perceiving when a tantrum is about to come and stop whatever we are doing to focus on them and divert thier attention to other interesting issues, situations and so on.
Of course, I need a lot of muscles to take my 14 yo kids into my arms, hold him carefully and help him to move from the point which sparks the tantrum, or eventual violent reaction, he is now with 1,80meters high and is a very strong boy, however he learnt that when I am near him to hold him in my arms carefully, he just remember it is a good thing that will come after, as for instance a new toy, a new conversation, a new view of the landscape, or a new dialog, and sometimes a carefull and gentile kiss on his forefront, or eventuallu a gift of attention, then after several tims doing it, he alone notice that he was about to explode and try to control himself, it took more than 3 years to learn how to hold him gently to avoid him to hurt himself, or others, and to educate lovely educate him to recognize the situation and try to control himself.

Now he is able to also, surprisingly, to help us to support the other two brothers and he is teaching them how to control themselves.

It was a very, extreme and hard change in our own lifes, way of living and also incomes, however we did it and it is working fine for us. Of course, we still need tons of love, and self-confidence, and above all, to keep us and the kids far from “easy” solutions and easy cures, that never had worked for them and just consume all our savings up to the point we bring ourselves a “stop order” and decided to take the care of the kids by ourselves at the cost of our past and now we recognized, selfish personal dreams. No religions, no doctors, no treatment, no nothing, just us and our kids and we are solving it in the best way we can. Our health care local systems just support us in the case of typical infant sicknesses or dentist care and normal care for youths and ourselves, just that, nothing special, no medications, no remedies no nothing to treat autism, just time, patience and tons of love.

Besides the 3 boys I have 3 daughters, all older and neurotypical, the girls are already married and building very happy families. Well, that’s it.

I have 53 yo, my second wife and mom of my kids is 37 yo, and before we got married and have our two babies – the older one is her´s - I was in the president position of local telecom company.

For us was a choice of life, we moved on and changed ourselves, to a more simple life, full of love and we noticed that all things changed and are still changing for the better and for the good of the all of us.

Life is done of challenges isn´t it? So we proudly have our.

I wish you a great week.

Jethro.
PS:
I am Brazilian and sorry by my English mistakes.

I am doing a documentary on what happens when children with autism grow up....and the difficulty in finding services for them. I have a 14 year old son with autism and the aggression is very difficult to handle....especially when there is no relief from it. I would love to hear from families like the person who mentioned being the target of aggression. My child doesn't mean to hurt anyone, but he just gets frustrated and strikes out....it still hurts, even though he doesn't mean it. Anyway, my blog is www.autismfilm.blogspot.com. My email is [email protected]. Please post on my blog and please contact me...especially if you are in Georgia. I would love to include your stories in my documentary. Thanks, Donna

I'm sorry for anyone who has autism...but I am bi-polar, have mild DCD besides, with diabetes, high blood pressure, a large painful tumor, and numerous other physical disabilites, including a painful lame foot.

I have been harassed, hounded and stalked relentlessly, for over a year, by a sociopathic teen with autismim....so I'm finding it really, really really hard, to swallow all this "oh, the poor autisitic child," excuses. I've NEVER used my mental disability to inflict prolonged pain and suffering on others. I NEVER did ANYTHING to this kid. He imagined that I slighted his mother, for merely (very politely) asking her to stop visiting my blog, in late 2007, because I was gravely ill, and she was making some very upsetting insensative remarks. At no time did I ever treat her badly or with disresepect...and for my pains, I have been cyber-stalked by this obsessed autistic teen, whose attacks have been vicious, cruel and mean...making fun of my dead mother--sending "letters" from her and signing up blogs under her name. He's made fun of me feeling deeply depressed, making a joke about causing me to commit suicide. He's made fun of my health--saying he hopes he gives me a heart attack.

So take your "Oh the poor autistic poor" and shove it. I was abused as a child..now I'm being abused as an adult..by some autistic brat whom no one can seem to control! For TWO YEARS.

I've got more disabilites than he is, and I'm entirely alone in this life...I can't even afford a therapist to help me deal with this abuse. So, right now, I am sorry anyone is autistic, but that does NOT give them the right to hurt innocent people...no more than someone like me.

Why is everyone saying "Poor Sky"? I say "Poor Gertrude Stuernegal" She was beaten to death by her son and, as Unlucky and tragic the circumstance may be, Sky Walker is a killer! Yes he may see things completely differently because he has autism, but he still killed someone!

My daughter in America called to tell me about Sky and his mum.You see, it was what my family has expected to happen to me. My son has,for the last 16 years, been violent.The attacks are so fast and over such trivial things that there is barely time to brace yourself. A sudden noise can cause such an explosion of temper with twisted face,spitting and hitting out -a visceral almost animal fury.I've been frightened for so long .

My heart goes out to this poor boy.And to his whole family.
Firstly,given the description of the severity of his autism there is no way that Sky is able to defend himself, or probably even understands what is happening , or what happened to his mother.
The charges need to be dropped.
And people in general need to be more aware of what severe autism looks like,and the importance of helping these children and their parents.When so many basic therapies are not even covered by insurance, and where people persist in pretending autism is not a disability, despite the fact that some people with severe autism are not even able to communicate basic needs such as what they want to eat: its time to realize that these adult children with severe autism need continuing services: and their parents need respite care and support.

This is in response to Stagmom.

You say you have autism, so you have a completely different perspective. However, the "autism spectrum" encompasses a wide range of neurological disorders. Clearly, Sky's problems go beyond processing problems. He cannot verbally communicate in an effective way, he handles frustration through aggression and appears to have some self-care issues.

Did you know that there 25% higher incidence of seizure disorder in autism? Also, while mental retardation isn't a mandatory feature of autism, probably about 50% of autistic children score in the mentally retarded (IQ 70 or lower) range on IQ tests. People with autism are also more likely to have stomach and bowel problems.

Basically, what I am saying is that while the so-called "higher functioning" people with autism, commonly diagnosed as Asperger's Syndrome, are essentially just regular people who process sensory input differently, there are other people with autism who's quality of life is severely effected. People with autism DO need help, and the parents of people with autism should seek a cure. If it were just a processing issue, you would never see autistic people biting off parts of their own tongues, or punching themselves in the head repeatedly until they cause brain damage (which I have seen.)

I used to work with young adults (18-22) with autism. Once, I witnessed a 18-year-old severely autistic person tackle an adult staff, push her to the ground and bite her on the neck very hard, stopping only when pulled off by another staff. Other people who saw said it looked like a rabid pit-bull attack. The same autistic individual also violently tackled another staff, grabbing her head and repeatedly slamming her head on the floor, causing neurological damage to that staff (before other staff were able to stop the attack.) There were several other violent incidents as well, and none of them had clear signs of an impending outburst. As much as autism advocates will scream and shout against it, the FACT is that some people with severe autism are unpredictable and dangerously violent (through no fault of their own.) What is the solution? I can't say- obviously, people like this are not competent to stand trial. But steps should be considered to keep other people (including parents) safe! BTW, I don't work in that field any more- I quit.

I came across your website from a link in another article: http://www.e-portage.us/newsgen/news_details.php?id=326

In the article you were quoted as saying this:
"Kim Stagliano, an activist for autism commended Mr. Vigluicci for understanding that Walker requires special consideration given his autism. “Although it’s disheartening that there are no family members ‘willing or able’ to help Mr. Walker in his time of need.” Went on to say."

Ms. Stagliano, I sincerely hope that you were misquoted. I had the pleasure of being in Dr. Steurnagel's very last complete class, and she was a wonderful woman. In her class, she often spoke about her two beloved nieces along with her brother. When I attended Dr. Steurnagel's memorial service, her niece and her brother both were there and spoke about Sky's condition along with the work they're trying to do to gain custody of him. They even moved into Ohio from out of state to be able to go through the courts with this case for Sky.

I will continue to keep an eye on Sky's case as I'm sure many are, and I can only hope that Dr. Steurnagel's wonderful family gets the custody of Sky that both parties deserve. If you were not misquoted, I really hope that you do more research on the accusations that you make. Families are trying their best.

Thank you.

Carol, thanks for commenting. Do you have autism? I think Sky was arrested based on "proximity" and his mother called 911. I see you're a writer - how about a plot where an person with autism is framed? It would be easy to imagine, wouldn't it?

Some people with autism need more help than others. Thanks for appreciating that.

KIM

Dsierra,

You ask a very good question and I think Sky's predicament is bringing a lot of issues like your question to the surface.

I think talking to an attorney who specializes in Trusts and Wills might be a good place to start.

I think I might bring this all to the attention of ED Arranga at Autism One. He might want to look for some speakers who can address these new issues we will be facing as the Autism Generation is growing up.

Autism and Law enforcement have been meeting quite frequently lately.

I myself have a child with Autism, he's about to be 9 years old. He is my everything... I live in Ohio and used to work at Kent State University but I never had the honor of meeting Trudy or Sky.

At this time I'm just wondering in the event that something like that happens again to one of us, can we make some kind of legal preparations?

I had a legal problem because I'm responsible for my pets and the harm that they cause; I'm responsible of the harm that my kids cause to another individual, because they are my responsibility. In any case if I choose to keep my son with me in the unfortunate event that something happens to me, how can I protect him and make the others see it as my responsibility as well?

This is a disgrace, I myself have Autism and the way they handle this young man is just disgusting. That picture just makes me sick to my stomach. There is no cure needed for Autism, it's just a Neurological difference in the way we process things.

All that glitters: the great American story
Darren D'Altorio

Issue date: 2/11/09 Section: Opinion

I walked into this conversation Monday morning in the newsroom of Franklin Hall.

"I can't believe there is a $2 million bail for an autistic kid accused of committing attempted murder," a guy wearing a brown hat said, shaking his head.

"Yeah," boomed another person nearby as he removed the earbud headphone from his left ear. "Does he even know what he did?"

A third person entered, informing the other two he went to high school with Sky Walker.

"He was pretty messed up," he said. "I don't think he has a clue."

In case you're unaware, what Sky Walker did a little over one week ago, according to police reports, was assault his mother, Gertrude Steuernagel, a political science professor at Kent State.

Now, "Trudy" is dead. The injuries she suffered were too severe to come back from.

In the wake, we as a community are left with conversations like the one I walked in on. We are left with the simple "how" and "why" questions but no answers to satisfy the curiosity.

We are left with a desire, stemming from pure human compassion and intellect, to learn everything we can about the rare cases like this when love's thin line between harmony and rage is distorted.

I didn't know Trudy or Sky. I never had her class. I never even saw her face until I saw the headshot in Monday's paper.

But the more I learn about Trudy's relationship with her son Sky, from eavesdropping on random conversations, the more I know love was the anchor in their relationship.

"There was a note on her syllabus," a girl who had professor Steuernagel's class this semester said. "If she had to leave class to attend to her son, she was sorry, but she had to go."

She had to go because they needed each other.

Ch. 2-Informing

According to the Daily Kent Stater column "My son's trail of sparkles," written by Trudy and published in October 2007, Sky was diagnosed with severe classical autism just before his 3rd birthday.

Autism is an incurable mental disorder that appears during early childhood and affects the ability to communicate and interact with others, according to CNN.com.

The spectrum ranges from mild to severe, but common symptoms are present in every case. On the contrary, there is no predicting what symptoms will be present, or if those symptoms will dissipate or worsen with time.

The symptoms of autism, according to CNN.com, are manifested in a concoction of behaviors, including obsessive-compulsive rituals, hyperactivity, attention deficit, inability to communicate verbally, sensitivity to light and desensitization to pain. But, in rare cases, autistic children can be classified as savant, possessing accelerated intelligence in areas of art, math or music.

And that's just a sampling of the Molotov cocktail this condition presents to researchers attempting to understand it and parents fighting to raise a child with it.

Ch.3-Understanding

"Their brains are a mystery and fascinating," said Ashley Smith, a six-year private tutor of autistic children.

Every day, efforts are made to understand what is going on inside the minds and souls of autistic children. But the battle raging within them to have a voice, express feelings and fit in creates an uncontrollable onslaught of emotions, Smith said.

She has experienced those emotions physically over the years in furies of screams, kicks, pinches and bites unknowingly directed at her and the other people trying to help, teach and love these kids.

As autistic children grow, so do their physical strengths. But, in some cases, the mind is left behind - stuck in the rhythms and routines of childhood.

In Trudy's column, she reflected on teaching Sky how to use scissors as a child, watching him fumble and fail. But, in time, he learned how to use them.

At age 16, he loved to cut the cellophane wrappers from strawberry fruit bars into "confetti-sized pieces" and throw them all over the house, just like a child.

Now, at age 18, that child is under public scrutiny, being held in jail for the attempted murder of his mother, "dance partner" and best friend.

Opinions differ - rehab, mental institution, prison - on how to deal with this fragile case. But one thing is for certain, and Trudy unknowingly and accidentally foreshadowed it.

"Neither of us will write the great American novel," Trudy wrote. Well, she was wrong. Their lives have become the makings of a great American novel, up there with "To Kill a Mockingbird," "The Catcher in the Rye," and "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest."

Just as great novels teach us to understand other's experiences and probe deeper into societies' facades, creating a sense of enlightenment and understanding of truth, Trudy and Sky's story provides us with the perfect platform to challenge our perceptions about a very misunderstood condition in modern American culture.

Their story has left a glittery trail, leading into the dark, unexplored corners of the human mind. And the glitter will illuminate the path to a greater understanding, so long as we let it.

This message is posted for two reasons. I have read all the comments and I must address the one ignorant comment posted by doberholtzer21. How extremely inhumane you are and uninformed. I hope that you are NEVER on a jury. Do you not have any compassion? Until you know the all facts don't be so quick to judge.

To all the mothers of autistic and other mentally disabled children, do not let this incident lessen the hope of a bright and successful future for your children. I have a mentally handicapped son and thanks to God and good therapy he now lives independently with supports and has a job. The battle for parents never ends though. We must keep on fighting for our children's rights.

Things happen for a reason. Perhaps this unfortunate sad incident will shed light on the fact that we need more services and supports for the mentally handicapped and for the parents who care for them. We need more respite care. We need more research. Motherhood brings many joys and sorrows at times not just for mothers of handicapped children but of all children.

If your child is mentally handicapped, before or by the age of 18 either become their legal guardian or have someone else be their legal guardian. They cannot make competent decisions in their own best interest. I know it is a difficult decision to have them declared incompetent, but it is in their best interest, especially from a medical standpoint, but now even more from a legal standpoint.

My heart and prayers go out to Sky and to his family and I will keep them in my prayers.

Friend of Sky, how is he? Where is he? My heart breaks for him.

Kim

'doberholtzer', you're a sick man. You really need psychological help. How can you, for even one second, think that justice and fairness would be served, if you put to death a mentally challenged, autistic man, who was not mentally fit in the first place? Have you, and a large part of our society, become so simplistic and savage in our thinking, that some of us would even entertain capital punishment for another sick fellow human being this mentally incapacitated, through no fault of his own? Only subhuman simpletons think like this. Please get a clue, and a heart!

Dear Friend of Sky and Trudy,

I'm so sorry for what Sky is going through. If we can help you (off this site, of course) please email me at Kim Stagliano at gmail .com.

Many people will theorize - I'm watching carefully to make sure our readers don't bring you and yours additional pain.

Thank you for posting.

Yours in friendship,

Was this young man on anti-depressant drugs like many men with autism?

Kathy,

We are all here to try and prevent any new moms from ever having a child develop autism -- of course -- my point is how you delivered your message.

Teresa, truth of it is, many a mom will find themselves in this position, it's the truth

I don't believe I have ever seen a disabled person treated with such callousness. What a disgrace.

I'd like to know how they are going cross-examine a non-verbal individual. Are they effing kidding us with this?

How awful that this happens the same day we hear that there is so much resistance to investigating the cause of autism.

Clearly we have a national emergency.

Once again, a sad living testament of the years mothers have to endure with violence and aggression with SOME kids with autism. IMHO, this young man probably was psychotic as well (this is also happening in older autistics, because their brains are on neurodegenration mode-and yes, AUTISM IS NEURODEGERNATIVE, HELLOOOOOO). I also believe this young man probalby has lyme, I guarantee he has it. Lyme can cause additional damage in the autistic brain. Some go psychotic, want to kill themselves and others...it is very sad. Mostly comes about by increasing intracranial inflammation and pressure in the brain.

Luckily, my 27 year old is a sweetie pie, kisses my cheeck every day, and says I love you. There were times when he went psychotic on AED's for a a few months. I thought I was going to lose it. I took him off of them, and put them on things that addressed the real reasons for Epilepsy/Autism, detoxed, got him on a good diet. Some moms have no information like this, especially the pioneer moms who still believe it was all their faults/don't generally use computers, I lived through that era and it sucked big time. (and was totally wrong). However, I must say, for the most part, those same moms probably do have major depression or autoimmune problems, which may have contributed to their children's autism in utero, by virtue of cytokine responses in utero. What they did outside of that resultant depression, is to be researched further. Who knows, maybe autism makes you depressed, chicken egg question for sure?

Bill Walsh of Pfieffer once told me, a certain age, kicks in, puberty is the start, where the brain degenerates if the body is not given proper nutiriton and antioxidants...and said and I quote "if you don't pour down antioxidants everyday, your child will, and everyone elses child, will develop into major psychotic illneses, and the like by the age of thirty", I think he was totally right. So yes, biomed is SOOO important...for an ILLNESS that is DEGENERATIVE unless addressed.

Welcome to the future, young moms...it ain't pretty.

Precious few people, and nobody in the media, has given this kid one shred of the benefit of the doubt. Lets not let "being autistic at the scene of the crime" be the new profile of a criminal. Here were my thought over there on ABC.

tlonsdale43 - I agree. I have not heard any evidence yet that this young man was responsible, yet have I have not read anything before your post to offer benefit of the doubt. Nobody, apparently including the police, knows what happened in that house. Their relationship has been described as loving. I'm just saying that lets not ingrain a prejudice against individuals with autism.

The scuffle with the officer is just another example of how police forces, whose 1st reaction is to demand immediate compliance, have not learned how to cope with a non violent disorder that does not respond to demands for compliance in expected ways. At the same time, I do not fault the officer for doing his best under the circumstances.

The difficulties of grown men with autism being cared for by single women over 60 are going to grow exponentially in the coming years, unless of course, you do not believe in an autism epidemic. The ongoing and future crisis resulting from denying an epidemic will not arrive without more warnings like this. I do not know what services this young man received growing up, but all across America, kids with autism are going without proper educational services that could help them live more independent lives in adulthood. Waiting lists for housing seem to shrink only when the primary caregiver becomes sick and the boundary of crisis has been crossed.

President Obama, please convene a national effort to address establishing uniform national minimum standards for addressing lifespan autism issues addressing education, healthcare, employment, housing, and research. We need to build the infrastructure for handling this through training those who will provide enabling services. The autism crisis began years ago, but a recovery plan has not yet been established at the federal level. This is too big of a problem for states, communities, and families to deal with on their own.

My thoughts and prayers to the family, the community, and our leaders.

This is why with every breath I have...
I push, pray and lead my son to function to his maximum potential.
When will the nightmare end.

She's been blogging about Sky and his poor dead mother. She admits she doesn't know much about the case. Muses where Sky's fahter might be. And wonders if Sky's mom got the help she needed for Sky.

Well, "Professor Chew" if people are listening to the likes of you...probably not. Although, I know she did all she could. She did what she thought was right. I am disgusted by people trying to second guess her choices.

Thankfully many of us know including Sky's mom autism is a truly horrible disability and have not bought into your "autism is a different way of thinking" drivel.

I'm reading all over the web parents stating "this could be me".

This is not a unique situation. I vividly recall Dan Burton reading an impassioned letter from Ray Gallop apologizing for not being able to attend the Hearings Rep. Burton was holding in DC more then a few years back, because as he put it- He and his family were "under siege". His son Eric was going through fits of rage and agression and I believe broke Ray's finger. That family went through hell with Eric's aggression. And Ray had the upfrontness to talk about it publically.

I know this is so uncomfortable for some to think about let alone talk about, but it's happening. All over, everywhere.

Sometimes the damage to our children's brains is so severe there isn't a way to fix it- try as we may. I know she tried, and still the situation unfolded as it did.

So, do us all a favor "Professor Chew" stop lying to people about this benign "different way of thinking" syndrome that has always been here. Your lies are helping no one.

Enjoy getting little Charlie off of the yellow school bus today. And, then think about poor Sky sitting in jail for unintentionally killing his mother in the morgue.

I live in Portage County Ohio. I will be finding out when his trials will be and if I have to speak on his behave. I will help this young man in any way possible even if it's sitting in the court room, speaking to whom ever I can about autism.
I pray for his family and pray his father may have a kind heart and be involved in a good way for Sky.

We can't possibly judge the poor mother. No way. We can try to help as many kids on the spectrum as possible though through education. Therapy, inside and out - love. And despite our best efforts, herculean efforts, that doesn't guarantee we can keep our kids safe.

It's a day to pray for Sky. Period.

A fried of mine sent me links to a couple articles this mother wrote when her child was younger (the type of stuff all us mommy autism bloggers seem to write, about how we love our kids, our struggles with treatments... Could have been any of us.) and then the two about her being beaten and then passing away finally. It chilled me to the core, and the thought hangs over me like a dark cloud- we don't know where Jaymes will be in 10 years, but if it's where he is now, I'm in trouble.

It's so scary.

I'm shocked that they are putting Sky through court and murder charges. What part of "not competent" is unclear? He can't assist in his own defense, it's doubtful that he even knows what a courtroom is.

It's horrible all around, for both mother and child.

Good morning, Harold. Thank you. You made my point. You can't have the American public (Canadian too) being told "do nothing. this is natural." all while the geneticists are working toward prenatal tests while young men like Sky Walker are going through hell. Parents will hear "autism." See Sky. And choose abortion. It's gross negligence. If a parent's goal is to manage the child until group home age, so be it. But don't tell the rest of us that's the best or the moral path. And certainly don't tell the world. The women you mention will be the driving force behind the "down syndrome cure" for autism. We at Age of Autism choose teach parents, "You CAN make your child's life better, healthier and safer."

I want young parents to hear "Autism" and think "Treatable" not "Abort." I want "Autism" to sound like "Prostate Cancer", not "Pancreatic Cancer." Both are cancers, but one implies survival and the other certain death.
