Re: autism discussion page

[Guest guest]

Hi members, this is Bill Nason, again recommending that you visit my facebook

site " autism discussion page " . Please read the past post explaining the

information page. I used to post a lot on this message board, but I do not have

the time to post on the 15 message boards that I use to visit. I recently

created this facebook page to present a variety of presentations on tackling

many of the challenges that our children experience. I hope that you will sign

up for face book and try us out. You will find it very informative.

> Hi group. This is Bill Nason. I am a limited license psychologist who

specializes in developmental disabilities and have been a member of this group

for several years. I am trying something new on facebook. I have designed a

presentation, " Fragile world on the spectrum, tools for helping your child feel

safe, accepted, and competent. " To reach as many people as possible I have

created a " page " on facebook called " autism discussion page " that allows me to

present the material and gives everyone a chance to share ideas, thoughts, and

experiences regarding the various stratgies. Please join us by logging into

facebook then type " autism discussion page " in the search box. Once there,

click on the " like " link and you will be get notices everytime a new topic is
