America has lost one of their most important leaders, and Hero

Advocates. He fought hard for those with Autism. I will send the

information as I get it about Bernie Rimland. The reason for his

death, and his story.

I will also send information about the day he is laid to rest.

I will have my Flag hanging high tomorrow, and it will remain there

for a long period of time, to honor Mr. Bernie Rimland our ASA & ARI

founder. As and Jen, I too am saddened by the loss of this

Great Man, and loving friend to all families of people with Autism.

Please say a prayer for his loved ones.

Respectfully:

This has not yet been updated with today's news but includes a photo with his

son and tells of some of what he did.

What a great loss to all of us. Bernard Rimland was a wonderful man and an

amazing advocate for all of our kids in every way.

I am saddened to hear of the passing of the founder of the medical movement

in autism. As an attendee of the first DAN conference in Dallas in 1995 where

I first met Dr. Rimland I always found him warm, caring, and a visionary

force who knew the answers were out there if only the right minds could be

brought together. He was also a man of good humor, a leader and a magnet who

drew

others towards him. I believe the greatest thing all of us could do would be

to carry on his life-long ambition to discover the medical basis for autistic

disorders and use this knowledge to prevent and treat this illness. Bernie

Rimland was a truly remarkable human being and I will always feel glad and

fortunate I had a chance to know him.

I know we cannot all live forever, but I wish he could have been an

exception. I've always had this feeling that Dr. Rimland was my

son's pseudo-grandfather; even though we only briefly met at the

first NAA conference (and I mean seconds). Or maybe just the

grandfather my son deserves (ie; wishful thinking!).

I bought a copy of his " Infantile Autism " book at the NAA auction

and asked him to sign it. That signature means much more today. I

am really sad. It is so hard to lose the person who I feel started

the movement to save my son...

I hope all of you with a few extra dollars will make a donation to

the Autism Research Institute.

Pam,

I'm in line behind you for one of those. I'd like mine to come with a

grandmother too, please.

I'm sad about Dr. Rimland too. If it weren't for him, everyone would

still think autism is our fault, maybe even us.

Has anybody else had trouble making a donation to ARI online? It

refused me twice.

[Guest guest]

My guess is they are probably being flooded with financial help right now. My

guess is also they are still in mourning for Dr. Rimland. It might be a good

idea to give it a while before you try again.

For sure keep trying.
