I spent my youth in institutions so it won't surprise me if I have to go back as an adult at some point.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12540927559726674184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33052404.post-66909635661499958032009-04-18T12:41:00.000-03:002009-04-18T12:41:00.000-03:00I jumped off my fence....
Monday that "jump" is ...I jumped off my fence.... <br /><br />Monday that "jump" is being printed/bound and sent to the Fed gov't - all 4 parties.<br /><br />I'm not advocating anything except equal treatment under the law when it comes to funding. From Floortime, to ABA, to speech, to OT... whatever your family wishes or whatever mine wishes.<br /><br />28pgs... and the story... is barely started... but I had to quit somewhere... All I did was write it as if you were explaining what was out there (internet, books, services, funding etc) to a new family with autism. Q is?? Do I have enough nerve to send it to a publisher and make it longer?? <br /><br />Answer... not today. I'm still wondering if I was crazy to write it in the first place. It was Estee's Autism is a culture that gave me a shove off the fence, Bill C-360 that made me type faster, and the lastest PSA (autism is a difference not a disability) out there... that made up my mind that I had to atleast have my say. <br /><br />If you don't speak up.. sooner or later you have to stop complaining about it.<br /><br />S.farmwifetwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680758336779501712noreply@blogger.com
