I loved reading your story. Recently saw you on Nancy Grace. Do you have any suggestions on what routes to take when the medical bills become overwhelming and the insurance company is a joke? My son is 5 and autistic was recently sent to have some blood tests done and we received a bill for $23,000. We were then informed by our insurance company that they don't consider autism and not talking a health issue--too bad. Where do parents with autistic children turn to keep from losing everything they own? Thank you so much for sharing your stories and experiences. Sometimes my husband and I feel completely alone in this. THANKS!! I will send in my son's story shortly.
