Sorry I have not posted for awhile. Elisa takes a lot of my time and the rest is spent with Mike.
I am really upset that most things about Autism stops at age 18. The disability does not go away at that age.Sometimes it gets worse for some of us and we really need the help. I got an e-mail from an autism site but I could not be part of it because Elisa had to be under 18. Sorry but I am angry about this.

That is a shame. Have people only been diagnosed with autism for less than 18 years or why wouldn’t they have help for over 18.
Just doesn’t make sense. Keep searching and hopefully you will finally find the help you want and need.
Have a good weekend !!!!
How sad! I don’t blame your for being angry! Can they refer you to another organization for over 18 children?

Hope you have a quiet weekend. Glad you liked your purse, Mike’s hat and Elisa things. Remember we love you.
Love Dawn
I continue to pray for wisdom, direction, and answers — and I’ll continue to pray until you get them. I watched a movie over the weekend called “Mozart and the Whale” and thought of you. A guy with Asperger’s syndrome started a support group for adults with special needs because there wasn’t anything like that for them. It really did make me think of you and the trouble you are having trying to get help for Elisa.
I haven’t forgotten about the cards — just haven’t been out of the house to get any. I really don’t get out much, especially with how I’ve been feeling lately. But, hopefully, I can get out soon and get some. I really do want to send her some and hopefully encourage her.
Today is Heart Beat Monday and Connie has dedicated the rest of April to friendships. I am so glad to have met you through Heart Beat (and Xanga) and count it a privilege to call you friend.
Remember to press in to Him!!
