I was trying to find a recent article that showed a study linked Autism to Mother's with mental disorders (more specifically bi-polar disorder) but couldn't find it. If anyone else has the link, could they post it please?

In the meantime, I found this (http://autism.about.com/b/2007/05/10/study-confirms-the-amazing-strength-of-mothers-with-children-on-the-autism-spectrum.htm) awesome article. I think it is wonderful at helping us parents remember just how important and special we are when we have a child with autism/aspergers.

Here is one such article

and another

Thank you. That's a wonderful video.

I followed the link to foggyrock.com, looks like I shouldn't be bored for a long time with all that new stuff to check out.

My hat is off to all mothers of autistic children..and all other children who have disabilities and health issues, they would have no chance if their Mom's didn't make life bearable.
