Guilt and Uncertainty of Autism

DOTHAN, AL -- Rhonda Kelley’s twin boys were 5 years old before they said “momma.”
But even before then she knew something was wrong with their development.
The boys are now 11 years old. A single parent, Kelley has dealt with her share of nasty looks and comments from other people who can’t understand her sons’ behavior and blamed it on lazy parenting or spoiled children.
“You almost get tired of apologizing for autism,” she said.
