As another school year comes to an end all of the meetings to see how our little girl is doing and how well she has done come into our faces again. Is she ready for Kindergarten? Mainstream or not? With an aid or not? IEP, OT, Speech, PT, PE all these abbreviations I had no idea about until Autism became apart of our lives. 3 years later we have the news she is ready for a typical kindergarten class. We are so blessed with this little girl. This week on CNN they are talking a great deal about autism. Please take the time to read and watch the valuable information. Please pass on the link to anyone you know that may be interested. There is a TON of HOPE out there. Have Faith J
She is just precious, Pattye. I'm so happy for you. My spouse and I have a daughter with LD and our hearts greatly go out to those struggling with autism. I understand all the questions you have faced. We chose to homeschool our little one. We have a dear friend who's one child has autism and another two have Asperger's. You can imagine the weight on her. It's been enlightening for many people around her. I'm glad people are finally focusing on the needs of these very special children and realizing they have a significant role in our society.

She's beautiful Pattye-so glad for your news.....Hope she has a good year coming up. I have one starting kindergarten, and know all of the apprehension that is involved as a parent-I can't imagine what all you must have to go through. I'm the first to admit I know little about Autism-so I'm off to your link to try and educated myself. Thanks for sharing Pattye-
