If you are the parent of a child with autism, you know the agonizing pain of the shock, grief, distress, and even the hopelessness that can grip your soul. And in the midst of the dark night, one question burns in our spirits: Where is God? Within that question lies many others we are often left to ponder: What future does our child have? Can God, will God heal them? And what of the families? Will we ever get our lives back? Will our marriage survive? Will we survive?

Ruth will bring insights and information of what it really is like living with autism in a society that does not understand it, and the effects it has on individuals with and without autism. Interviews will be primarily with adults on the spectrum, but also at "user friendly” places found “safe” in the search for self-advocacy, self-understanding, and, most of all, acceptance of self and society. Ruth encourages self-advocacy so that the children will know how far they can grow.

We now know that autism is a systemic disorder with brain and gastrointestinal inflammation, immune dysregulation and imbalanced biochemistry. The first DAN!

A coalition of parents, researchers, and physicians had the audacity to suggest autism is treatable. Through sharing ideas and talents, listening to each other, and following the science for treatment strategies-- children improved, sometimes dramatically.
