Mique - I've been following you for a year or so. I love your work and became an even bigger fan when I started reading about your nephews (after I first discovered you). I'm an autism Momma and I so so so so so appreciate your new weekly series. Keep up the incredible work on all fronts- you are amazing! ;)

TERRI - Thanks for using your blog as a platform to get important information out there, Melissa. It will do a world of good.

Alexandra - Wow... I had no ideas that the number of autistic children was so high, and the level of private funding was so low, especially in comparison to all of those other diseases! Thank you for opening my eyes and good luck in your fund raiser!
