Happy good Monday morning!

I loved this story about the Peterson family from New Jersey:

Adam Peterson has autism. His mother Donna speaks eloquently about the obstacles and successes he has had:

The New York Times published a good article this week on the financial burdens of autism. It's notable in that it actually offers some practical (if rudimentary) advice for parents of children with autism: be knowledgeable and assertive with your insurance company, see if your state allows Medicaid waivers for autism treatment, and seek out local resources.

So, hi.

I'm back after a couple of months. I've been busy having autism. And Christmas. And a boyfriend. Throw in a couple of loads of laundry and that's enough to keep me busy for a season.

Anyway.

I'm back.

Send me a message if you notice.

This upcoming Indian film about a man with Aspergers sounds very interesting. It stars Shahrukh as a man whose autistic behavior causes to him to be suspected of terrorism after the September 11 attack.
