"Does it matter that I lie next to you on the floor, and gaze into your eyes when you seem to be in a whole different world far, far away from me? Does it matter that I whisper 'I love you, ' and 'Mommy is here to help you, and I will do everything I can to get you better?' Do my intentions for you matter? Do you hear my vows of love? Does it make any sense to you? I see a fleeting glimmer of recognition run across your face, and then watch as it fades into oblivion-does it matter that I try to reach you in your locked away world?" Diane Vrana knows firsthand how time can stand excruciatingly still when you are told that your child has Autism. She knows how it feels to go home and to say, "Now what?" Her youngest son, Aaren, was diagnosed with the disorder when he was two-and-a-half years old. Come along with her as she describes her family's journey with heartfelt, raw emotion. Allow her to offer comfort and solace to your broken heart, as she speaks of faith and offers hope. Travel with her as she helps you to understand the disorder, parent-to-parent, in everyday terms that you can understand: the causes, the symptoms, and some of the biomedical and therapy treatment options available. Follow her as she shows you exactly what her family did to heal her son, who, at seven years old, no longer meets the criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder. Recovery is possible, and many children are recovering everyday. Don't wait any longer . . . let this be your day.
