"My son Paul was denied placement on the heart transplant list because of his mental disability. The doctor was more interested in the fact that he could not name all his medications (he takes 19 at the present time) and the Princess Peach doll he carries for comfort, than the fact that he has never smoked or drank alcohol. Where will the discrimination end?

Paul is a wonderful boy that has taken his mental and physical illness in stride. He has just completed his first novel geared toward preteens. We are now in the process of having it self-published. This is really the only thing that keeps his mind off of his mortality. How do I explain to him why he can't have a new heart?

Can you help us tell the Transplant Committee they are wrong and he deserves the chance to grow old and watch his two young nephews grow up?"

Can you even believe this? Because to me this is discrimination. Doctors these days don't know autism from a whole in the ground! You wonder why I have such a huge fear of them and why I can't stand setting foot into a hospital. Everything about them startles me and as an autistic person myself, I can only imagine what he goes through.

It would really mean a lot of you could show your support. Help him and his family. I don't know him but I'm willing to help out a fellow autistic in need when I can. This is just ridiculous so please... show your support and sign the petition and support him.

I carry around my Axel plushie everywhere I go. I won't leave the house without him unless I am bringing Axel. Those are my comfort items I have to have with me so I know what he is going through, I may not have heart problems but as an autistic person, I feel his pain.
