Re: Supportive ASD information you can use on your site

I just wanted to make sure you got my first message, so I copied and pasted
it below. Thanks, and again, keep doing what you do.

Hi,

My son, Randy, was in an accident as an adult that changed his abilities.
Since our lives changed that day, I’ve spent a lot of time working with
other families who have a special needs family member, including children
and adults who have autism. I’m not proud to say that before I started
volunteering, I hadn’t spent much time with people of any age who have ASD,
so it’s truly been moving to make connections with these families. Our
experiences aren’t exactly the same, but in a lot of ways, we have much in
common.

I thought it might be a good idea to add some supportive ASD-related
information to my own site, and I noticed that you have a lot of great
resources for those with autism (and their families) already. I don’t know
if you’re looking for more of this kind of information, but if you are,
this list might be worth adding to your site.

I think it’s great what you’re doing, supporting all individuals and
families to simply enjoy life and one another’s company. It means a lot to
families like mine and I encourage you to keep at it.

Thanks,
