Comment on Quotes About Autism (and everything that includes) by Susan Varghese

My name is Susan Varghese, a senior journalism student at Purchase College. For my senior project, I’m doing a written piece interviewing and profiling three different families with children living with Autism. I’m hoping to target the age group between 21-25, to explore what happens when government aid decreases, they grow up, and their parents and siblings get older.I grew up with an autistic brother which sparked my interest in the topic. I want to shed light on something that many people hear of, but, don’t know much about and the struggles and joys that also happen living with someone autistic. I was hoping I would be able to interview you and/or was hoping you may also be able to refer me to any families that would be willing to be interviewed extensively. I’d really appreciate it and thank you so much for your time.

Sincerely,
Susan

It’s still possible to order “Markings” from Amazon, although the blurred serif font bothers me. But I don’t have time to maintain a webpage right now. I might put a blog there once I eventually master WordPress.

I clicked the poor little egg again, but it didn’t seem to help.

Oh but it is. I just had to fog a couple of them in order to insure that they didn’t die. I have some more here: http://dragcave.net/user/lastcrazyhorn

@princessbride: I understand what you’re saying, and if my children had “gifts” like some people have “gifts,” I would believe that, too, that they would maintain their abilities no matter what else happened. I think my daughter’s advantage is that she sees through to the heart of things because she is literal, because of the autism. My son, on the other hand, as much as I wish he would have one of those narrow interests so that we could inspire him to follow it, he doesn’t. He just has behavior that continues to disrupt everything. He says he doesn’t know why he can’t control himself. He has no governor between “think” and “act.” We’re all still learning how to deal with it.

The blue egg works. How many clicks do you need for it to hatch, or is that not a factor?

I’ve no other way to get in touch with you, so I guess this is it.

Tried emailing and received no response, so I will assume that you’ve no desire to speak with me.

All I can say is goodbye then, and I hope your life goes well.
