Yesterday, my Facebook memories brought up our Founding Editor Dan Olmsted. He's been gone for 8 years. It's hard to believe. Join me in remembering him, please. Kim

This is Dan Olmsted in 2007. This is when we launched Age of Autism at the National Autism Assn conference.  He was a Yale trained journalist with an illustrious career. He spent the last ten years of his life covering autism, vaccine injury and the travesty of the epidemic. And he tapped ME - ME? I was writing for Huffington Post at the time. I was a tired, broke Mom of 3 kids w autism. He asked me to help him run Age of Autism.  I've worked for almost 10 years every single day. Posting. Writing. Moderating comments. We have a team of angels - writers, helpers, donors.  

Dan died in January - today was his memorial.  I was unable to attend. I'll tell you that story one day. Trust me.

Daniel J. Olmsted, I miss you. You called me KIMBO.  You always had a kind word and an even keel for me, even when my boat was in a tempest. I miss you. I miss you. I miss you.

Love to his husband, his family and friends. And our entire AofA community.

If you would like to donate to AofA in Dan's name  here's a link.
