Crazy like a fox!

They say children that have autism have parents that suffer from some sort of mental illness.

I say that is a bunch of hooey!

Anyways, I will talk you to guys later I have to go give my 68 cats a bath.


LOL!

    If the 68 cats are yours, I think that you suffer from mental illness.

    That is interesting, where did you hear that? I have a child with mild Autism and I have anxiety and used to have depression. My mother is psychotic (I am not kidding), and my grandmother had schizophrenia. My kids certainly didn't win the genetic lottery.

    I think the study was that kids with autism are MORE LIKELY to have parents with mental illness than the general population. It's not a 100% thing.

    April,

    The posts by Katherinelight are correct.

    And on a personal note ... I am sorry for the luck of the draw.

    I was making a joke .... I do that often to mask the pain of my everyday life.

    And NO, I do not have 68 cats .... I only have 36 cats .... gaaawwwd!
