I finally got a chance to sit down and watch the PP. It is so well done and easy to understand.
I'm going to send it on to our county Special Ed lead and others.
Mark, your daughter is beautiful, she looks like she has come a long way!

Thanks Mark for sharing not only your accurate and appropriate thoughts, but your beautiful daughter as well. We are all here because of our children and sometimes that is forgotten. This seemed to be a good and positive step in educating the DC crowd.

I just listened to the briefing on Autism One Radio. Thank you both and GREAT job!

I am wondering if Mark or David could share some of the questions that were asked? And if they can report to the "fell" of the audiance.
Also did many/if any hang around to speak with them afterwards?

Tanner and I Thank You. Your words before that group hopefully will change our world. I pray that yesterday was the flash point and critical mass we need to move forward and help the kids.
