Our Story

Hi, my name is Scott. My wife Maggie and I are the proud parents of Ryan, a beautiful 3 year old boy.

Ryan was a completely healthy and happy child. He was developing normally, laughing, playing and saying his first words, “mama, dada, duck, fish and doggie”. He’d look at you when you called his name and would give you a smile to melt your heart.

A couple of months after his first birthday in December 2005 Ryan was given his MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccination. On the same day, he was also given the Flu shot. Maggie and I knew the FDA removed Thimerosal from the MMR shot a few years ago over parents concern of an Autism link. Unfortunately, they did not remove it from the Flu shot where to this day remains around 100x the amount of Thimerosal that was ever in the MMR shot!

Soon after the shots everything changed.

Ryan began to stare at the walls, rock back & forth and flap his hands all day long. He stopped playing games and wouldn’t look you in the eye. He stopped saying anything coherent. He started jumping up and down all day and running around all night (we haven’t slept well in 2 years). Ryan no longer used his toys the right way, either lining everything up in a row or stacked things up like a tower. Ryan even had 2 seizures where he foamed at the mouth and was rushed to the ER.

I am sure you can imagine how Maggie and I felt when Ryan stopped calling out to us or even acknowledging we were in the same room. One thing I can tell you is I will never forget the sheer terror in Maggie’s voice when she called me to get to the hospital during his first seizure.

Ryan was officially diagnosed with having Autism in the summer of 2006. Since then it has been a constant battle for services between the state and health insurance companies. To the bureaucracies, Autism is a 100% developmental disorder. Although the FDA pulled Thimerosal from childhood vaccines they still won’t admit there is an Autsim link. Therefore, the treatments offered/covered by health insurance and the government is limited to mental therapies alone and only for a handful of hours per week. They do not consider any physical factors like yeast/candida overgrowth, heavy metal detox, specialized diets or vitamin supplements at all.

Ryan is now 3 and has improved in some areas but there is so much more we need to do. While he will look at you now, he still won’t answer to his name or speak anything coherent. Ryan desperately needs additional hours with all his therapists if he is going to grow up and succeed in this world.

Needless to say, the financial burden of all the hours of therapy, vitamin supplements, wheat free/gluten free food and special needs learning toys, all cost a small fortune.

Maggie and I are good parents and we both work hard. Unfortunately, we just don’t make enough to get everything that Ryan needs to get ahead. Many families of autistic children end in divorce from the stress and financial fall out. Every month we struggle with keeping the roof over our heads or getting him extra therapy.

Recently a friend told me about a site where someone used ad blocks to raise money for college. I thought this same concept would be a great idea for raising Autism awareness while helping to keep Ryan moving forward.

Won’t you please help Ryan recover? An ad is only $25 per block and will remain on the web for at least 5 years.
