Re: Telling family and friends

[Guest guest]

Allie is 12. She is in the 6th grade, and loves theater class the best.

Turns out she has a wicked ability at improvisation.

Allie would hate being a pen pal, because writing is a huge chore - just the

physical act of forcing words onto paper, yuck! She would probably love to

be email pals, where she could share drawings, and jokes and school

experiences. She was very drawn to Vee's work (you will forgive the

expression)

because she loves cartooning - it's her favorite method of expression.

If we could work out a way for the girls to share emails and art, she'd love

to take part.

How old is Vee? Allie was curious when she saw the labels on the Albums,

figuring Vee might not be too different in age.

I'm so glad Allie was excited to see her website. How old is your daughter?

I haven't had time to load more of the fun pages - but I keep telling

i'm going to work on the butterfly island next.... but just haven't

had the

time.

Defiantly feel free to share her website with your girls. It's become my

safe place I know she goes, has fun, learns but at the same time be protected.

All the links I've carefully looked at to make sure they don't point to any

sites that are inappropriate, but if you find something I've missed please let

me know.

You know something I thought of awhile back once she got her diagnosis was,

would any of you be interested in starting a pen pal program for our girls? I

know my daughter has such a hard time making friends at school due to her

social issues - and often complains she doesn't have friends. So I thought it

might be nice for her to receive letters from other girls around the country

with autism. And for the girls who can't write - maybe can draw

pictures for them.... to make them feel special as well.

It's a thought... and not sure how we could do it.... but if you guys are

interested, let me know. I'm sure we could figure out a way.

Hugs to all

Thank you so much for sharing your daughter's website. My daughter

sometimes works out her feelings in artwork, and she was just thrilled to see

Vee's

work. I enjoyed it too, of course! Allie was so excited to see Vee's

interest in Pokémon. I had to promise her we could look again tomorrow, since

it

was too close to bedtime to look very long tonight! :-)

Thanks again,

Sandi
