So I am home again, and have experienced more in the last 5 days regarding Autism and the specturm than I ever thought possible! I have so much to process and think about that it is a bit overwhelming. Like I told the hubby last night....it's like having all the information and still no clear answer yet. I was blessed to meet some of the front runners in this movement to recover our children from autism. I met AMAZING kids with Asperger's, autism, OCD, Bi-Polar disorder, both verbal and non-verbal! They are just beyond any words worthy of description. "Inspirational" even seems too subtle. If you are fortunate enough to have a child on the spectrum, or love a child on the spectrum, or work with a child on the spectrum.....appreciate it! These kids have so much to offer this world and they should not be viewed as brats, outcasts, difficult chores, broken, or disabled. They are more able than most of us will ever be!
Over the next several weeks I am going to be adding a lot of new books to my reading and resources section at the bottom of the blog. These are books from the conference I bought after hearing the authors speak. They are books I believe in and will read myself. So keep an eye on that section. Also, if you want any of the information or power point presentations from the conference, I have ALL of those as well. Next year I plan to return, and I hope you will join me!
