Hey all,
Thanks for all the lovely messages from everyone, and Mahika I know exactly what you are going through since I am in the same situation. Keep faith and know one thing, our kids give us INFINITELY more than we can ever hope to give them in our entire lifetime. Just their purity and complete lack of guile is enough to fill my heart many times over.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know that my son actually came up to me and looked at me directly IN MY EYES, saying and I quote "Give you BIG hug and I love you mummy". Also he used a COMPLETE sentence this afternoon to ask me "Mummy can we go to McDonald's for lunch tomorrow?" For all of you this is probably such a small thing, but to our kids it's akin to discovering the cure for cancer... It's amazing and I started crying just after he asked me that... to hus complete bewilderment since he did not get why I was blubberring all over him! :) Anyway, he's definately getting treated to his favourite chicken nuggets meal for lunch tomorrow. :)
Thanks guys.
Swapna

Cheers Swapna. Am so happy to read this!! May he make more and more progress and may he fill you with more and more joy vis-a-vis his progress. Please do give him one special big hug from his virtual aunt Padma, that is me. Take care and all the very best to you and Mahika and your guileless perfect children. Love, Padma

Wow ur son saying a full sentence? What a pleasure it must have given to u. My neice is a down not autistic and with down children the problem is that you have to tell them things atleast 4 or 5 times before they start identifying them. So when ever she identifies something everyone in the house hold claps and she also claps. She is two and a half but could say Papa only till now but now she has started saying Momma.
Her parents are trying that in their city all the special children should be allowed to go to normal schools and interact with normal children so that they have exposure, they know about the world around them and the normal children also learn to have sympathy towards them and don't make fun of them. For this purpose my Sis n her husband held a meeting of the principles,teachers of all the schools of their town and the parents of special children.

If just reading this could make random person's eyes teary, experiencing this as a mom would be so great.
Hope you will continue to get many more joyful experiences.
