He offered a question. No where can it be rationally suggested he spewed offensive unfounded anti-aba Rhetoric. He offered stimulus, from a place of experience, and involvment in families lives worldwide helping them learn to choose a more useful attitude and approach.....one that respects one dealing with autism. benevolentwarriorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33052404.post-1820609297345031272008-05-05T13:15:00.000-03:002008-05-05T13:15:00.000-03:00The ATCA has had moderate successes characterized ...The ATCA has had moderate successes characterized by a few high-profile turnarounds such as Raun.
