Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 Rogena--just passing this along--Amy was going to write to you, but she is on her way to ER with her little guy--- I hope he is OK!!-but she did notice your post and will get to you when she can. She has a TON of info--I could just kick myself---she had sent me a slew of info on aspergers awhile back b/c of something else---and I must have deleted it, b/c I checked all thru my mail and its of course gone, sorry!!! I just want you to know your post and concerns are not unnoticed. valarie Quote
