There's another melon on this board who has an autistic son (he hasn't logged in in ages though ) and I got this link from him, in case you're interested (I already posted it on the previous page):

Thanks Barbara I saw that people think they are aware of autism but really they are aware of what people think autism is There needs to be more awareness and researh

Hey, I always wondered what would someone who knows a lot about autism (cause I won't even pretend I do) and has a direct contact with it in everyday life think of the book "A curious incident of the dog in the night". Maybe it's a stupid question but I absolutely loved the book and it made me think a lot about the state of mind of that kid. I was also wondering how realistic/accurate it was concerning autism but I guess it depends pretty much on the form of autism too?

I volunteered today! Ive been wanting to do more for homeless animals, especially cats. I have three cats of my own and have no more room in my house but more love to give. Ive been trying to find local organizations on line but nobody has responded to my emails...I think the pages were out of date. So I went to petsmart today because on Saturdays they always have local animal resuce groups there doing adoptions! I was so nervous to approach anyone....I have this HUGE fear of rejection. I found the people who handle the cats and they were so NICE! I filled out my application and they told me I can come next Saturday to learn the ropes! YAY! ;D

I have a 2 1/2 year old with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome with Transposition. He had one open heart surgery at 9 months old with at least one more to come. He recv's his care at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis---- (rileychildresnshospital.com) Also, another great foundation is the Ronald McDonald House which helps families while their children are recv'ing care (such as food, a place to sleep, etc.). Both of these places function largely by donations and goodwill. I have always given when possible (even before my sone was born) I've learned that giving is great as you never know when you may need to be on the recv'ing end. God Bless you all.

The Ronald McDonald house is a great place. My wife and I stayed there during my daughter's heart surgery. The Childrens' Miracle Network is also does a great job. When you are spending days and weeks at a time in a hospital with a sick child, they help the family to be as comfortable as possible.
