Age of Autism Matching Gift Event Success!
Dear Friends: Thanks to everyone who donated in our November Matching Gift program. You generously gave $4510 which our donor is matching. Frankly I'd like to sing his/her name to the world. But the gift is anonymous.
In our little corner of the world, that's a lot of thanks!
When Dan died, I had just taken over the day to day business management of the non-profit called Autism Age. I am Executive Director of this Connecticut based non-profit. I worried about whether or not we could continue as the nations first daily web newspaper of the autism epidemic. Dan's presence was a comfort to me. A rudder that kept us going full steam ahead. He was a friend. A mentor. Our leader. I miss him every single time I hit, "publish." John Stone has been a steady source of support and guidance in our new iteration. Mark Blaxill and Jen Larson and our sponsors at Generation Rescue and Safeminds are our backbone. I so value their commitment and work. Brooke Potthast, board member and dear friend to Dan in DC has been an angel of support as we've navigated the changes - including that dreadful day our domain went "poof!" for a short time! There were so many loose threads to pull together so fast after Dan's death. I'm sharing this "inside baseball" with you not to generate sympathy, we each have our own share of day to day problems! I want you to know that we are as committed as ever (and many think we should all be committed) to bringing you a community of information, news and support as our kids grow up. I think our work is more important than ever. We need to tell the old stories of vaccine injury and severe autism. We need to support families whose young children are just starting their journey.
If you can make a small donation, we'll welcome your effort. "Many a little makes a mickle." Don't forget to send me your company's matching gift forms too.

Thank you for all that Age of Autism has done and is doing!
Just to share something, IMO Forrest Maready sometimes puts out some compelling theories, well presented for viewers' consideration. Here's his latest:

Amen to that Kim. My family and this AoA community will always be indebted to you .. and those you also mentioned .. including Dan .. for all you have already done .. and .. hopefully will continue for years to come.
