Great info. We have something in common, as I have a blog on Asperger's, which is high functioning autism. I will be starting the facts of Asperger's as soon as I am finished with my son's story. Patricia Dean
We see the number of Autistic children growing in this country every year. It is important to make awareness of this disorder and give helpful information to parent. Keep up your good work.
God Bless,
I have not known any one with Autism. Thank you for the information. Keep us informed.
