Guest guest Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 Great, Moria! Thanks! Very neat idea about collecting books for the group. I'll be sure to ask send you and the group her book to share. Actually, though, I will have to discuss part of this further with you as I have a personal ethical rule against encouraging members of this group to become part of an email list managed by a person who has seemingly misrepresented herself to this group, myself, and others and used email as one of the resources to do so; many, many emails. I'll contact you off this list and perhaps you can give me an alternative email address as I don't want to make myself liable for any problems that could arise. I also would prefer to handle it with you in private email as I am personally trying not to tie-up this list with the negative stuff. I apologize for having to be semi- negative here because I know people are sick and tired of the whole situation. I don't like censoring, banning, and all that kind of thing, but I will have to ask for an alternative contact person for your group who will not be forwarding email addresses from this group to the original person given. Thanks Moria, > Hi, > > I haven't been reading this list recently, but I understand > there is a request out for info on local support groups. > So I'm sending in some info....

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2002 Report Share Posted November 18, 2002 A little update on sending in support group info. As it stands now, I've decided that whatever group or person you send me and who you perceive as being helpful and who you perceive does not stand in the way of enzymes being an option for autism will be included. If that person misuses their position, then it is up to you to do something about it. I only have a few groups, if you'd like your's included, let me know or add it yourself, but please only include groups you are confident are helpful. Also, I really liked the way Moria's group has a library, so I think it would be great for people to ask to donate her book, too. I plan on donating one to my son's school, too. Actually, the teacher asked for one for the library!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 What a great idea, Kim! All I ever organized down here in Atlanta was a picnic but it was great and I'm still in touch with several of those moms! BTW, my dad is freezing in big ole Ada, Minnesota, is that close to you?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Kim, If I'm not mistaken we had a member I believe in KY who tried to start a local support group at her public library. It didn't go over to well, no one showed up. Hopefully you'll have better luck. Let us know. --- In Plagiocephaly , " kasaint_2 " <kasaint_2@y...> wrote: > Hi everyone! > I have started a new mission... something other than to regather my > sanity!
