Autism Tags

My Daughter is 6 with severe autism, she has never spoke. She is in diapers and drinks pediasure for her nourishment. We had to take her to a long awaited doctors appointment. While three cities over for 2 days, a sewer main broke outside and our basement flooded. It ruined all the kids bedding and sheets. I am so broke, I can barely afford to replace the clothing ruined. All my daughters wall decals are ruined. We need help. Please. ANYTHING you can do will help so much. https://www.walmart.com/giftregistry/gr_detail.do?registry_id=86181342096
Thanks again for anything. Bless You

I am a struggling single mother of two daughters. I can't afford child care so i cannot work long hours. My moms house is falling apart but can't fix it because of her medical problems. She was diagnosed with cancer on valentines day of 2007. On top of that, my triplet brothers have sever autism, my sister has arachnoiditis and my other sister has Multiple Sclerosis. I try to help my mom around her house but i have my family to take care of also & have a hard time keeping up with the bills. I just need a little help to get us through these times.

My 2 younger boys have autism. They have problems sitting in their booster seats, and it has become very dangerous. In December, my youngest child fell asleep in his booster, and even though he is and was at the time, the proper height and weight, we stopped short and he fell out from under the seat, catching his head in the belt. He was okay, thank God. But... It scared us very badly. We are a family of 5 on one income and have no money to put aside for new seats. I want to buy them Radians by Sunshine Kids. They are seats where the 5 point harness goes to 85 pounds. My kids torsos are small, so they will fit them perfectly. However, the seats are extremely expensive, and cost are $290 a piece. And we need 2 of them. I am asking for help to but these carseats so my children can be ultra safe in the car and I won't have to be terrified for their safety. Please help. If everyone gave just a bit, we would surely come up with the money to buy them. thank you for looking.

Vinnie is nearly 5 years old. He has fragile X syndrome a genetic disorder that presents like autism but is far far worse with retardation. He is trapped in his own body unable to communicate with us and gets so frustrated he bites his hands, they are scarred and bleed alot.

My sister and I (who have the fragile x gene and are affected in ways other than mentally) desperately want and need to go to the Fragile X International conference in Miami in July this year. But we live in New Zealand and it is going to cost about 16 grand to get there. They are doing workshops on the latest techniques to get through to kids like Vinnie.

Our mother has dementia and this will be the last time my sister will be able to leave her as she deteriorates, I have custody of my disabled sister and this year have someone who will look after her while I am gone... We so need to understand this horrible disorder that has so changed our lives.

We will be among only a handful of people from our country going and we will be teaching other families who are dealing with Fragile X the methods we learn when we return.

Please help us, we are fundraising as much as we can and selling off everything that we can but it is not enough as all our money goes to helping Vinnie and mum and my sister.

Hello BegsList. My name is Chris. I'm 19 years of age, and I live in Philadelphia. At the age of 18, I escaped an abusive household to enter the adult world. I am afflicted with autism and severe ADHD. I don't let those setbacks get to me though- I'm enterprising and constantly looking for employment. I finally had a good place- I found a well-paying position at Walgreens, and they transferred me into the Philadelphia market. Not three months after arriving, I was unexpectedly laid off. Due to some funky requirements in the rules, I was not able to draw unemployment. I have been diligently hunting for jobs ever since that fateful day, but unfortunately my efforts have proven fruitless. I have volunteered most of my time to a small non-profit when I'm not job searching. We're a small interfaith group that hits the streets with a message of love and peace for all, along with participating in several community service projects and education programs. We are currently experiencing a whole host of financial hardships as a whole. My beg is two pronged: On one hand, I am three months behind on my rent and on the verge of eviction. On the other hand, I am devoted to making my community better and making people a little happier through the non-profit. This is a last resort for me, as I've exhausted all other channels. Please help me out. Someone's gotta be out there. I thank you for taking the time to read this.

-Chris

Hi. I am a 23 year old single mother to be beautiful little 4 year old boy. I have been working since I was 17 and have never found myself in financial trouble like I am currently.

To even think about having to sink to this level, and do something like this was something I have never dreamed of. However, I have recently lost my job and am not 2 months behind on my mortgage payment. I am having absoulutely no luck in finding something and have been taking any kind of side work I can for food and the essentials.

In addition to my situation, my son is special needs. he was diagnosed with severe autism at 1 1/2, and requires to eat a special diet, go to the therapy, and have special care.

I am nearly on my last leg and am not sure what to do at this point. Any help, donations, or what not to help me get caught up on my mortgage would be a God send.

I thank you for time in reading this. God Bless.

Hi, thank you for reading this. I need £500 to fix my car. we live in the country and the car is our only means of transport. My partner had a heart attack and can no longer work. my daughter has autism, and I have to look after her and her son. I need the car because of all the hospital appointments. I've sold some things but it's no-where near enough to fix the car. Please help because we really need the car. Thanks x

hi,i am a stressed out mum with 5 children,2 have Aspergers/Autism and i am trying my best to look after them and study so that i can better myself and hopefully be able to take them for a little holiday as we have never been anywhere.i do not want to go anywhere expensive,just a weekend away with them would be the best ever.my house also has terrible dry rot,i have spent all the money i had having it treated (house insurance would not cover it).we had to rip all the kitchen worktops and units out(ruined by rot)and knock all the plaster off the walls to treat it,if i could just have any small amounts i could buy kitchen units on sale and try and give the children a tidy clean place to cook and eat their food and do their homework in,i will be extreemly greatful for any amounts to help me so that the children will have a better life,my autistic son cant cope with mess and cries all the time and asks me why he is the only boy in his class that hasnt been on holiday.thank you for reading this plea and if you feellike you would like to help out i am eternally greatful.thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My name is Melanie. I am a single mother of three children, one of which has severe autism and another with a suspected learning disabilty. I have recently become unemployed. I am a special education teacher with a Masters degree and lots of experience with children with and without exceptionalities. My friend, who has an Educational Specialist degree and retired special education teacher, and I would like to start a consultation business for parents and children with and without exceptionalities that need help experiencing success. We would like to provide tutoring, advocacy, and in home services at a very low cost to parents. Please help us to start this business and help these children who are in need of assistance.

I've decided to try and get help through donations http://www.giveforward.com/unbreakmyheart and funding http://unbreakmyheart2011.blogspot.com/from outside sources since every doctor I've seen in 2 years agree that I need the leads to my ICD (defibrillator) replaced; but shuffle me back to the original doctor and wash their hands of me.

I'm raising funds for ICD replacement surgery, to go see a HOCM specialist (Dr. Craig Asher) at Cleveland Clinic in S. Florida and to have advanced testing through Vanderbilt Autonomic Center in Tennessee.

I don't want to admit I need help; I've always been a strong, independent person who took care of everything and everyone. In August 2009, my whole world changed. After my procedure, I applied for disability and was turned down twice and had to hire an attorney. I went from being "super" mom, wife & friend and care taker of an Autistic son to being the one who had to be taken care of.

So how did I get to the point I have to ask others for help? Shortly before Father's Day 2009, I fell and broke my foot. When it didn't heal, I went to my primary with a broken foot and came out with a broken heart. After the shock wore off from the doctor telling me that I was going to die if I didn't have valve surgery; I started asking questions.

I didn't quite believe him and thought he was over reacting when he told me I was going to die because I walked and ran 3-5 times weekly and even did strenuous yard work. I felt fine and have 4 children aged 9-26 and kept up with them and stayed very active in things they did; but I was a ticking time bomb just waiting for the right time for my heart to stop.

He sent me to several specialists who said I had nothing really wrong, just some mild valve problems associated with aging; which was a huge relief. Everything seemed normal except my EKG's; they showed I had a huge amount of PVC's (premature ventricular contractions) roughly 50,000 “extra” heartbeats daily.

My heart didn't really beat fully; it only quivered like a bowl of jello day in day out. The problem with it beating like this is, the heart becomes very ineffective at pumping and your cardiac output drops and heart muscle damage can occur.

The cardiologist and electrophysiologist I saw did extensive testing and recommended more testing in the hospital. I went in for a sleep study, Tilt table test and EP Study with Ablation. The sleep study revealed I had moderately severe sleep apnea and my oxygen goes from 99% down to 73% at night making it very dangerous for me when I sleep.

The tilt table test was the first inkling that something dangerous was going on inside. I fainted and had no palpable pulse; which is a very rare thing to happen. I was diagnosed with Dysautonomia - Neurocardiogenic Syncope and Orthostatic Intolerance.
I then had an ablation to burn the extra pathways in my heart and get rid of the pvc's I was living with daily. I was told this would be a relatively easy process and given a 95% success rate to get rid of the extra beats completely but it never crossed my mind that anything would happen.

What preliminary tests failed to show, is the pattern and origin of my arrhythmias were in a very dangerous spot to ablate - the RV Apex – in the bottom thin underside of the heart.

During the EP Study, I went into cardiac arrest and my heart stopped completely with no rhythm they could shock (Asystole), some how it started again for a few minutes but then stopped again. They were able to shock me back to normal sinus rhythm and luckily, the third time it stopped; it restarted on it's own so I didn't have to be shocked again.

I was diagnosed with Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia; a very dangerous, life threatening arrhythmia. I stayed in the hospital for 4 days trying to find a cause and to be prepped for an ICD (implantable cardiac defibrillator).

It took a cardiac catherization to finally find the problem and to show I had HOCM (obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy) and internal high pressures in my valves.

My regular EP had to go out of town after the first procedure, so his partner had to do the implant; he wasn't as skilled as my regular dr and botched the lead implants.

When they checked the leads the next day before releasing me, they found a problem with the lead placement but the dr said it was "ok" and sent me home. Since then, I've had nothing but problems with the unit and been told by several other EP's I need to have the leads replaced and the ICD could be causing part of my problems.

Doctors think my other problems are related to HOCM (obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) and Autonomic nervous system failure and when I faint, my heart stops briefly causing damage each time this happens.

After the procedure, my body started failing from the damage it sustained the 4 times my heart stopped. My original cardiologist told me I would be in a wheel chair and totally dependent on others for everything by the time I'm 50; which is daunting because in March I'll be 45 and I can't deny the facts - my body is failing.

I was put on 10,000g sodium daily, water/fluid loading, Midodrine (insurance won't cover it $312 - 30 day supply), Propanolol, Pantoprazole, pain meds, suppression hose and binders as well as having to stay supine the majority of the day - which caused my heart failure to worsen and my EF (ejection fraction) to go down.

Nothing the doctor's have tried has helped, I still faint and my heart stops on a daily basis and I never know from one day to the next if something is going to trigger fluid build up and I have an acute attack.

In June 2011 I fainted falling into the side of my tiled tub, lacerating the side of my head in the process, severely sprained my neck and suffered a concussion. After that episode, I became a bit more cautious with every move I make because the dr found declining neurological functioning and mild brain damage; he said any more falls could lead to permanent major brain damage.

With so many previous medical bills and co-pays, I can't afford the 20% co-insurance to have my ICD replaced and Mayo Clinic wants a $5,000 deposit up front even with insurance. My ICD alone is $125,000, leads another $30,000 and then there's the doctor and hospital fees; which I won't know the cost until the procedure is done.

Each heart rhythm specialist and cardiologist I see tell me there is nothing more they can do after going over my history and treatments; I have a long hard fight to go and I have to just be thankful each day I'm alive. Some days I'm really glad I made it through, other days when the problems and pain take over; I wish the dr's had let me die.

I developed PTSD after the procedure, panic disorder and extreme agoraphobia. I went into such a deep depression over my health issues, I was afraid I would never see the lighter side of things again. I finally went to see a psychologist who prescribed Lamictal and diagnosed me with Bi-Polar disorder which has helped greatly but I still struggle on a daily basis.

One day we were just the “normal” every day family and the toughest thing we had to deal with is a child with Autism. Then; our whole lives changed in an instant we were dealing with mounting medical bills, expensive prescriptions, tests, appointments, loss of income and dealing with the possibility of death on a daily basis.

You just never know what the day may bring, so keep those you love close to you and never take one second for granted.
From the bottom of my heart thank you - even if it's support to say hey; I'm here if you need to talk or I know how you're feeling.

This is just a shot in the dark attempt, I'm not expecting anything but its always worth a try.

My name is Melissa and I am a pregnant, single mother of two children, one has autism and a severe hearing loss. I currently am single and am currently living with my mother who is not the most caring individual person on the planet. In June I will be homeless. Currently I am unemployed due to being 7 months pregnant and though I plan whole heartly to get a job after my son is born I still will not have enough to put down a security deposit or rent including utilities in that time frame.

I will take what ever you are willing to donate, I'm desperate and as I said, will take anything.

Thank you for your time and generosity.

Hi, This is a first for me, but I need some help. My son is struggling at school with too much noise and distraction (he has autism and needs more one on one)and I need to provide a more peaceful setting at a smaller school. However this is going to cost money that I just don't have. Can you please help me? I can't take on any more hours at work and my hubby also works long hours so I'm asking for anyone's help!

i have been fighting malignant melanoma for 3 years now, my husband lost his job 2 years ago, and with it went my health insurance. i do not qualify for medicare because we own our home (we don't really own it yet as we do pay almost 1000$ a month in a mortgage). i work part time but, at 8.50 an hour that's hardly enough to support our young so who has been diagnosed with autism. this past summer doctors found a lump in the front of my neck, after a biopsy, it was revealed to be life threatening and needed to come out.the surgery cost is $20,000. dr. bills come almost every day, and i still have appointments to go to! melanoma is a life long cancer, in that to keep it from spreading and growing i have to see a dr. several times a year and undergo biopsy's of anything out of the ordinary. the thyroid cancer may or may not be related to the melanoma, they don't really know, it has been removed but i still owe thousands of dollars to doctors and hospitals. i am afraid that if i cant pay my medical bills the doctors will no longer be able see me, and my cancer will return unchecked, please help if u can, thank you

Our Car was repoed when my husband was injured by a drunk driver. The med bills were more than the mere 10 thousand settlement and left us broke. He was always a good provider and worked hard from age 16. I was offered a full-time job but I need a good used car to get me to work that won't leave me owing repair bills. We have a 21 year old son who has autism and a 3 year old granddaughter we care for. Please help me to help my family. I was offered a job a a food service worker(cook) in a large unionized supermarket. If I get a car I already have the job and am supposed to start soon. I have no one who can loan me car and no one to give me a ride to work.I was just given an awesome job and I love to cook. If I can get there to this job, our lives will change for the better and I can help my husband, children, and granddaughter.QAlso , the people who "bought" our mobile home are indefault and owe us 6.700 dollars and we are about to get kicked out of our home as we depended on the contracted money owed to us and the buyer is a drug addict crack-cocaine user refusing to pay. It will take money and time to go to court and I need to pay my bills and feed my family in the mean time. Please help me I beg you. Contact Kim at 610-703-1452

It is too much to bear. I sold my home under contract to a black woman who turned out to be lying crack head. She refuses to pay me the 6,700 she owes me. I am so poor I cannot afford to file in court the 147.00 needed to go to small claims. Also the mobile home I purchased has 2 rooms gutted and unfinished. I need the bedrooms to have floors and walls. I have a 21 year old son with autism and get no help at all from county or social work, etc. I'm also trying to make my home suitable and finished so my granddaughter can come live with me. Her parents are neglecting her and I need a suitable room for her to live in. The home I sold was fixed by me and husband. We invested money so we could get a few thousand but we got nothing! We moved into the mobile home we reside in now but since the "buyers" have not paid, we are unable to finance any fixing the house desperately needs. Also, my husbands car dealership mechani's job got axed and he is looking for ful-time work. I was just given a job after neing out of work with uterine/ovarian cancer and heart surgeries for 5 years. We could really use a donated automobile, and the $6,700 that our "buyers" owe us. We can pay back if and when the judge awards it. We have real estate contract proving that they bought and they are clearly in default. We have always been hard-working people. I need a car to get to work now so I can earn custody of my granddaughter from her unfit father.Please call Kim Freeman at 610-703-1452 if you can donate a vehicle that runs well and any money at all.

My daughter, 10, has cerebral palsy and is 100% disabled in a wheelchair. My son is 12 with Autism, ADHD & Tourettes. We have had no income for a month due to loss of a job. We are month to month renters and landlord said if we do not pay immediately he will file for eviction. I can't get a new place with no money plus its very difficult finding an apartment that is one story and handicap accessible. I am scared out of my mind for my children. I am $600 short. I am willing to pay everyone back who helps and can show proof of anything you need. Thank you and God Bless.

i am a women staying in south africa. i have 2 beautiful children (one whom is autistic)
4 years ago we decided to buy a house in an development. unfortunatelly the developper was a bit of a crook and took the money and ran, he never completed the development and we were stuck with a halve completed house and no money. last year we had to declare ourselfs bankrupt as we could not pay for that loss and still live. we lost almost everything but luckely could keep our cars a 7 yr old and a 15yr old. the older is giving a lot of problems and breaking down a lot and due to the bankrupsy we are not allowed to buy a new car on credit. our rent agreement is also about to expire and due to our son's autism we can't move into a flat as he screams a lot.

could someone please find it in their hearts to help us either buy a new car or get a house.
i know there is still good people out there and anything will be much appreciated.

We are a family of 4, 2 kids and 2 adults. Our 11 year old son has autism, we also have a 9 year old daughter. My husband works full time, I just started a full time job but my payday comes once a month. We are barely making ends meet, we have been using food banks for help with food. We have cut down on what things we can, no cable, bare basic cell service, no entertainment, no eating out. We just need help getting things like milk, eggs and break, that we dont get through the food banks.

Anything can help, the kids eat breakfast and lunch at school because we qualify for free lunches. We get food stamps, but only $31 a month. That doesnt go too far.

Please help need money for autism kids to teach them how to talk

Hi.
I am a Grandmother that has custody of my five yr old Grand daughter. At one time my husband and I had a very nice home, cars, furniture, and clothes. However a job loss for my husband and a ten year battle trying to save our middle son from a drug addiction that started at age 15 has bankrupted us. Our Grand daughter is the light of our lives. We had to take her from my son and his wife almost a year ago due to their addiction to Meth and alcohol. She is a bright child but has been through a lot in her short five years of life. Due to what she has been through we decided last year to put her into a private Christian school. The tuition is quite high and we struggled through keeping her there. Now school starts in less than a week and we need $1,800.00 to get her started. We are still behind on the previous year and until we pay the behind amount and the first month tuition she can't start. She will be going into the 1st grade and is so excited. We could opt for public school but due to her mild form of Autism and her history we fear that she will have a hard time. She loves the school she has been in and has done very well considering the life she has had. My husband and I have been Christians throughout our marriage. We raised our children in the faith. We never imagined that our American dream would crumble and we would loose everything trying to save one of them. We and Paige would be so grateful for any level of help. You can contact me through my email and I will be happy to send you information on her school where you can send her donations. We want nothing more from this but help keeping her in this school. We are truly grateful for anything you can do. God bless you and thank you.

I am a single Mom to 4 children.My oldest boy 13 suffers with autism.Although he is a joy for me.Our life is a struggle needless to say.More so since our car has been stolen and I am unable to replace it.This makes things much more difficult as my son cries everytime he sees a car.My other 3 children understand and accept it.I am a friend to many never have asked for anything before.Although life has always been hard for us.Utilities get shut off and we wait a week sometimes to buy milk and stuff.Yet I offer to sit for friends when they want to go out.I ask nothing in return.I am here asking today cause I don't know where else to go.I need to raise enough money to buy a car so I can take my kids to the park a few times before they go back to school and I can go back to work to try and make things better for us all again.
Thank you for your consideration even if you cannot help us,You will still mean so much just by reading what we have to say.
