You're just too cool, Sir Strat! Thank you so much.
I'm certainly not a superhero but I do pretend to be one at home.

It's rather trite for me to say something like,

"Hang in there, Young Miss," -- because you are doing that, and far more than that, and admirably. It's definitely an up close and personal education into a special situation and I am seeing you more as a superhero every day, even though I know you don't feel that way and yeah, that, too is a pretty trite comparison -- a superhero ain't got nuthin on Wee Young Miss's Mom!

Take care and keep on writing! !

Temple, I'm getting to all that stuff.
Just had to get to the present day. From here on, I will be sharing all that good (er, not good?) stuff.

Thanks for that confidence, Sam. Hope you're right!

Well, Rumor, the part about being asked
all the questions by the evaluation people is understandable. I haven't been made to feel like I was being chastised or punished but I just wish they would be a bit more helpful as far as giving me advise for the time being, while waiting for the "official report."

Missed this one.
Did you tell me about this tantrum?  I remember you telling me about one recently where she and Devin had a moment.  I think you should tell everyone in the same detail you tell me about the lining up of the magnets ... oh, here's an E, wait, there's an O ... I find it kind of endearing. Smoochies.  Oh, and the dog book ... and the singing ... don't forget the garbage and the food stuff (although she gets that from you).

WOW! This has been an ordeal! It's tough to leave them when they are so small but the graduation is important and I trust they will come through just fine for you! sam

SpitFire...
all the "waiting in betweens" would have driven me nuts....and all the questions....did you ever feel like you were being chastised or punished for having an autistic baby?.....

I know, Kabu.
I wish they could have at least gotten her started with some sort of therapy. As I type this, she's having a tantrum. These are the exact moments I want to scream! Can't someone just help us already? Ugh
