A difficult dilemmahttps://101autism.com/a-difficult-dilemma/ https://101autism.com/a-difficult-dilemma/#respond Sun, 04 Aug 2013 19:26:23 +0000 https://101autism.com/?p=615 My friend has only one son, autistic, and she now wants to expand the family and bring him a brother or sister – but her husband is very much afraid that the second child born to them will be also on the spectrum.

Last week, I called my good friend, who is also a mother to an autistic child. Before I could greet her, she told me: “So good you called, I need to consult with you.”
My friend has only one son, autistic, and she now wants to expand the family and bring him a brother or sister – but her husband is very much afraid that the second child born to them will be also on the spectrum. After I recovered from this bomb thrown at me over the phone, I told her that this was indeed a very complex issue that almost any parent of an autistic child has to deal with at some stage of his life.
Although the cause of autism is not yet defined, it is known that there is a genetic factor involved. The assumption is that a number of damaged genes are causing this syndrome but the scientists have not yet identified with certainty those genes that are responsible directly.  The odds of having another child with autism in a family that already has one autistic child are 50 times higher than in a family which has no autistic child.

But troubling of all is the fact that to this date no medical examination – physical or genetic can diagnose autism before birth. Autism is a syndrome, meaning a child with autism can be diagnosed only by the existence or absence of certain behaviors, and usually only after the first year of the infant’s life. One-third of autistic children develop properly until the age of 1-1.5 years old and some of them even develop a language – but then they suffer a regression and lose some of the capabilities already acquired. I know quite a few families who are razing two children with autism, and it is a real challenge (to say the least).

On the other hand, I know families with one autistic child, who found the courage to have more children and they were born completely normal. I can attest to myself that I didn’t have the courage to get pregnant again after my son was diagnosed and this is the reason I have only two children. Quick review on the families of most of my friends reveals a similar situation: two children, the oldest is N.T (Neurotypical} and the youngest is on the autistic spectrum.

My decision not to have another child after my son was diagnosed was not an easy one. I always wanted at least three children but I realized that I don’t have enough resources to raise more than one autistic child. My friend explained to me that her situation is a little different than mine because my son has at least one sister and her son is growing up as an only child and she so wants him to have a brother or sister. As we kept talking it became clear to me that my friend wants a second child at any coast and she is ready to take the risk. She told me she has a moral problem with abortions so even if there had been a test to discover autism before birth she would have had the child anyway.  I’m glad these doubts are long behind me but suddenly I wondered: if there would have been a test for detecting autism while I was pregnant with my son, could I have really end the pregnancy and thereby losing my amazing son? I can only thank God that that did not put me to this trail.

Amber Alert GPShttps://101autism.com/amber-alert-gps/ https://101autism.com/amber-alert-gps/#respond Thu, 12 Jul 2012 14:09:03 +0000 https://101autism.com/?p=4386


Amber Alert GPS is the emerging US child location GPS technology industry leader. Rated a 4 out of 5 as the Editor’s Choice by gpsmagazine.com in their new “The Ultimate GPS Child Tracking Buyer’s Guide” and recently reviewed in MSNBC.com’s article “A Good Find: GPS to locate the kids,” Amber Alert GPS has created a product that gives parents peace of mind using the latest in GPS and cellular technology.

Here is how it works (and no other competitor has anything close to the simplicity and sophistication of our technology): A parent’s phone call or text to a GPS unit located on their child will return a text within seconds to their cell phone containing the actual address and latitude and longitude coordinates of their child’s whereabouts, along with a map pinpointing the location of their child.

But that is not all! This innovative technology also provides:

  • Maps on your Mobile Phone AND computer – When you call your GPS unit to request a location, you will receive a map URL and the exact address on your mobile phone. (Note: you must have a Smartphone or an Internet data plan on your mobile phone to view the URL.)
  • Safe Zone – Define an area in your neighborhood, school district, or anywhere you choose and receive an alert when your GPS is carried outside that location.
  • Web Tracking – You can go right to your desktop or laptop computer anytime to see your child’s whereabouts!
  • SOS Button – Teach your child to press the GPS SOS button when they need help or are in danger, and you will immediately receive an alert with their location.
  • Speed Alert – Receive a notification when your GPS surpasses a specific speed that YOU have set and know immediately when your child is in a car. Great for speeding teenagers!
  • Bread-Crumbing – You can have the Amber Alert GPS unit send you messages on a regular schedule, set by you to tell you the exact whereabouts of your child from moment to moment. This will save you time of having to call the GPS unit every time you want an update (only available with “Unlimited Plan”).
  • Temperature Alert – This is an entirely new feature that will notify you when your child and their new GPS unit are in an environment that is too hot or too cold…i.e., in a hot car in the summertime.
  • Page Command – If you misplace or lose your unit or if you can’t find your child while you are in the same store or building, use the page command, and a unit will emit a loud noise, which will help you locate your unit.
  • Destination Alert – Want to know when you child has reached a destination, like school or a friend’s house, this alert will let you know.
  • Low Battery Alert – Nobody wants to run out of battery power while tracking their child. So, now we have an alert to let you know if the unit is low on energy.
  • Voice Monitoring – for an additional fee, the voice monitoring will allow you to listen to your child’s situation.

The Amber Alert GPS 2G units come in a straightforward design with popular color schemes. It is so small that it fits in the palm of your hand, and it can fit in virtually any pocket, backpack, purse, jacket, etc. Some parents have even created accessories to make them “blend in” with their child’s clothing or other accessories. See our website for images of the 2G unit.

The heart of our company, which is run by parents for parents, revolves around the President’s initiative to protect children and give parents peace of mind. However, this device can be used in many other scenarios, such as vehicle tracking, pet tracking, special needs children and seniors, personal security, luggage tracking, etc. Only your imagination limits the uses of this fantastic and efficient new technology.
