They are all interesting points. and everybody is entitled to their own thought or feeling on the matter. I happen to agree a little bit with everyone. i started this thread simply because it was a thought that crossed my mind after seeing the preview. My best friend has a little boy, he is 4 now. And he has severe autism. I love this child. He is like a nephew to me. But i also know how hard it has been for my friend. She has personally made the decision not to have any more children simply for the fact that she wants to focus on her son and help him. That was her decision. I am not saying it is right or it is wrong. And i was not saying that the family having six children with autism was wrong. It was their choice.I just know how hard it is to care for one child with a handicap. I cannot imagine having six of them.. I feel that if i was in that situation that i would have stopped after 2 or 3 and focused on the ones i had. Like i said before.. i don't believe in abortion myself. so if i knew a child was going to be handicap i would continue the pregnancy.

Renee, that is very interesting. I personally do not believe in abortion so i would carry a baby to term regardless of what condition they had. I just found it sad that all 6 of these children have autism. And like i said.. after giving birth to 2 or 3 children who had autism you would think there plates would be completely full as it is. I think at that point i would want to prevent pregnancy so i could focus on the ones i had.

Has anybody seen the ads on the discovery health channel for the show autism times 6? They have 6 children and apparently all 6 of the children have autism. I was doing some reading about this family.. its very sad. I cant help but wonder why they would continue having children after realizing that the older children of the bunch had autism. The oldest child is 14, the youngest being 3. I do not mean to sound ignorant or mean. They must be amazing parents to do what they do everyday. I have a lot of experience with children who have autism having worked as a nanny for special needs children for about 10 years. Its one of the hardest things to deal with. Its a very sad thing.. i just dont think i would have continued having children after realizing all of the older children were special needs.. Any thoughts on this?

back in my pioneering days i used to do phone witnessing a LOT. When we were sick, or if it was raining... that was just what we did... The worst thing we did was walk around the MALL when it was crappy out and walk up to random people and witness.. i used to HATE that.

I'm meeting with the elders...
by cognac ini was so adament with my husband about not meeting with them./ i said "no" under no uncertain terms that i did not want to have this meeting.
so, they have been hounding us for days about it, repeatedly asking.. finally, my husband and the elder both come up to me asking about it.
so i just said to elder that the last meeting was discouraging and i don't want to be put through that again.

Cognac, I am so sorry you are going through all of this.. I think of you and your situation often, and wish you well! More so because i probably know most of the people you are dealing with... (us growing up in the same "area" and all.) I wish you well.. and my thoughts are with you.
