Hi Pin,
Thank you for the nice comment on my entry to AAW 
Some of the most frustrating things about having an autistic child are the well-meaning comments such as "Is there a cure?" and "I'm sure she'll get better" 
But it's such a complex syndrome that it's almost impossible to explain it in a simple and succint enough manner to sufficiently enlighten the uninformed speaker 
At least there's a lot more information these days about autism in the form of TV and radio programmes, newspaper articles and news items.

No need for thanks. It's a good Entry. You'll get more comment, for sure. The AWW is a little quiet on a Monday evening, I guess.
It's good that there's more info around now. People are more supportive towards each other once they understand things even a little.
I guess the well-meaning comments are a blessing in that way too. Once people are brave enough to talk about these things, they soon learn. Then everybody wins.
So says I, anyhow.
Key: Complain about this post
Thank you for the comment
