I
do not know all the answers but I do know that all I can do is raise a
level of awareness of the Autism Spectrum which hopefully one day will
be embraced and understood better. I am not interested in fame,

strategies to deal with the many issues at hand. Hopefully in time
events and circumstances will change.
