Guest guest Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 Margaret, Regards " Dennis Debbault who educates about the autism & risk management had given me some awareness wallet card to carry to hand out which I have. Does the awareness card tell staring passerbyers that staring is rude? Ha Ha. Sorry your sister in law had to go through this.Praying that you will be strong enough to comfort her and that this strength will come back to you tenfold.
