	I don't know anyone with autism, but I am aware of how pervasive it is, and how we really need to learn more about this. If she can be taught to communicate, hopefully this will open a lot of doors and help us understand it much much more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It truly is, and as much as I wish I knew what caused it, what's more important is to understand it and possibly find a way to lessen its severity, if not cure it. She uses a combination of words, sign language and gestures to communicate things she wants, but I would love to find out what she's really thinking. Sadly, most insurances won't cover these things, and that's really a shame given how many children are diagnosed these days.
