2008 Calendar quotes needed....

July 25, 2007

Parents/Professionals.

If you have an inspiring quote or thought about having or caring for or

serving an individual with an autism spectrum disorder -- I would love to have

your 1-3 sentence contribution for the calendar.

I am seeking 12 - one for each month of the calendar.

Nothing professional - just an awareness statement for the public to get a

word " portrait " of autism.

Last calendar featured 12 autism statistics or facts. For the 2008 Calendar -

I want word " portraits " to educate about autism.

To educate the public about the " HUMAN-ness " of autism. Not the " definition "

or " look " or " statistics of " autism.

About the " value " of the individual - what they contribute, bring, offer.

What they mean to you as a parent.

Please help with this - I have received some very poignant responses - but I

need more!

Nothing professional - just from your heart -- so don't be worried that you

aren't a writer!

Very brief - very real.

Thanks!

Send directly to: MGuppy@...

Deadline is FRIDAY!!!!!!!

By submitting your comments to MGuppy@... - you are giving me

permission to use (editing for length/grammar) your submission in the 2008

Autism Awareness Calendar for Texas. Please sign your submission with how you

want to be named (first name only, or first name, last name, and city, etc.....)

Sincerely,

Guppy

" There are some aspects of a person's life that we have no right to

compromise. We cannot negotiate the size of an institution. No one should live

in one. We cannot debate who should get an inclusive education. Everyone

should. We cannot determine who does and who does not get the right to make

their own choices and forge their own futures. All must. "
