Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 "I believe we should encourage non-parents to attend PLSP. Perhaps that will provide a better balance for advocacy in our communities and help educate more people who don't live daily with the situations discussed in the class. " Amen to that, ! I am a single parent with custody of my mod/severely autistic, ADHD child 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If she goes two days without sleeping, I go two days without sleeping. When I get to take a shower, everyone who gets near me cheers! I would love to attend things like this, but as a parent on the front lines, I don't have the energy to save myself, much less anyone else... I wish someday Autism (and Disability) Awareness would rate just as highly nationwide as the Breast Cancer campaign. It takes the efforts of other people who aren't fighting the fight every minute of every day to help us move forward. Aunts, Uncles, cousins, grandparents, co-workers, church bretheren, neighbors, businesses, schools, media, etc... People who get to sleep, and take showers every day! L. , Rome, Georgia Quote
