Some times I just wonder?
By
Leora Leon



Sometimes, I wonder if my son had had cancer, if he and my family would be treated differently.

I wonder if the doors of the medical community would have opened up and embraced him with all their latest technology.

Sometimes I wonder if my son had had cancer if I would have had to fight with insurance companies to cover the illness and all the appropriate testing.

Sometimes I wonder if my son had had cancer, if the school district would do everything within their means to help me to help him further his education during his time of illness, and I would not have to fight them at every corner.

Sometimes I wonder if my son had had cancer, if my family and friends would be more supportive and understanding.

Sometimes I wonder if my son had had cancer, if I would have had to set up his educational program and try to find a cure for his illness, through infusions, diets, vitamins and whatever else I could find.

Sometimes I wonder if my son had had cancer that there would be a good chance that he would be in remission now and he could go on with his life.

But the reality is that my son has Autism.

And the all the Doctors just guess.
The school districts don?t have a clue.
And I keep my attorney busy fighting for an appropriate education for my son.
I pay enormous medical bills.
I try all the latest vitamins, diets and medical interventions.
And I work and work to find the answers that will give my son the best possible life he can have.

Just explaining, I hate these poems and said I would post them all here so they have less reason to appear elsewhere (will repeat this disclaimer wherever necessary!)
