When two year old Daniel lay motionless on the floor staring at the ceiling,his mother had no idea that he was exemplifying the first symptoms of whatwould be diagnosed as autism two years later.
The emergency room visit on that June 2002 afternoon resulted in a forty-eighthour hospital stay where Daniel was afterwards discharged with a simple, "roughhorseplay" diagnosis. However, within the weeks that followed he lost his speech,hearing, and cognitive skills, eventually slipping into a world of his own.
Daniel was born a very healthy, bouncing, bundle of joy. He was an even moreactive toddler. However, in one moment of time his laughter ceased, the pitterpatterof his little feet racing through the house ended, and his voice that was onceheard in family conversations was replaced by ear-piercing screams and whines ashe tried to communicate his needs.
Convinced that Daniel was misdiagnosed, his mother prayed and began to seekhelp. Without knowing the giant she was facing, she relentlessly looked for answersand found them. On May 19, 2004, Daniel was diagnosed with autism. But thatwas not the end of the story! Instead, it was just the beginning!
