You could do a lot of good for parents who are ummm..........whats the right word...........not despondent, that sounds too condescending.........but I trust that someone here knows what I'm trying to get at? I'm not always so great with words. It would be good for......parents who lack hope for the future for their autistic children. There are many parents out there who just don't know enough about the potential abilities of autistic children, to even think they CAN be hopeful. I'm an autistic person, but I'm not a parent. You on the other hand are a parent. You would be able to reach such parents much more readily than I or either of the other two could. Please, please, spread your and Ben's wisdom. and seek out other parents who are likeminded about their autistic children......who knows, you might even go to www.blogcarnival.com and start a blog carnival about hope for parents of autistic children! Just a suggestion...........thanks for being a voice for us. Ivan of athenivanidx I second what marion said.

I've been reading, but not commenting. You do need to get all this into book form to help other parents out there. So creative. I’ve been reading, but not commenting.
