I see the older kids in our autism support group and the obstacles they are faced with. As I said, I don't know that having an autistic child in the book will change anything, but if one person can better appreciate the gifts that are there, I'll call it good.Tracy St. Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08330547341441742342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535214726884453778.post-91271989328354459952013-03-09T20:35:52.785-05:002013-03-09T20:35:52.785-05:00Good for your daughter!

My father was like that, but he's slowly getting the idea that my son doesn't think like others.<br /><br />I am so grateful to you, Derek, and his students. :DTracy St. Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08330547341441742342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535214726884453778.post-64745051083830628292013-03-09T20:29:13.086-05:002013-03-09T20:29:13.086-05:00Thanks Brenda!

P...Thanks Brenda! My son had an awesome birthday.<br /><br />People are quick to judge, aren't they? Quick to assume the worst. Those invisible issues just don't get respect, sometimes even from those who should know better. I know of a grade school principal who told the mother of an autistic boy, "Well, he looks normal. I expect him to act normal." Can you imagine?Tracy St. Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08330547341441742342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535214726884453778.post-90572308558753442502013-03-09T18:18:19.088-05:002013-03-09T18:18:19.088-05:00Got my first order of Kalquor merchandise from caf...Got my first order of Kalquor merchandise from cafe press.

She is not autistic but shares a lot of the traits that autistic kids have. Her childhood was very challenging at times. My own family often did not understand how a child who seemed so "normal" could act in such inexplicable ways. They thought she needed to be spanked too. She is now a very successful college student and journalist.<br /><br />Derek and his students at 3-Tigers had a great time making fight videos.

My brother had a stroke and was walking down the street and he swayed when he walked and someone yelled out the car window to get off the street you drunk. My brother doesn't drink, and is a minister and the one with my darling special needs niece. People should think before the speak sometimes. Say happy birthday to your darling son.angelgirllilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10356299689444685698noreply@blogger.com
