Thanks so much for your continued support. I...ABFH,<br />Thanks so much for your continued support. I hope you see what Im writing as sharing my experiances in a positive way.<br />My wife and I had very different political veiws when we met.We never debate anything. In 2004 she voted for a democrat but it wasnt me who changed her mind.<br />(Actually there is a funny story about that Ill have to tell sometime)<br />Listen, this is important to me. You know alot about what to say to parents.Youve done alot of that and you know somethings that I want to learn.I really dont want to get into the debates that you do. Im glad you are. I think you and some others are really helping parents but, like you said, we dont all have to get into that. I dont think we all should.I just need to know how to avoid such things.<br />I want to be careful and learn from you. I dont want to give parents the wrong idea. They shouldnt be taking advice from me on such things.I dont have any.If you would, help me understand how to stay out of the debates. I want to leave that up to you who are experianced and qualified in that area.<br />Also, there is something about my experiance that is different that I want people to hear. Since youve read alot about me, I think youll understand but Im trying to find out where to draw the line on how much stuff to tell. There is a such thing as too much information. Everyone has to decide for themselves but if you have ideas Id apprecaite them.<br />Thanks, Ed<br /><br />Sharon, Im glad to get the opportunity to tell you how much Ive admired your recent blogging.<br />Two years ago, the agency that works with me asked if there were any books that Id recomended about autism.<br />At the time I suggested Temple Grandin's Thinking in Pictures and Uta Frith's Explaining the Inigma. They never bought either.<br />Someone is coming to work with me again soon. This time their promise will be kept and they wont have to buy a book. #1 suggested reading by me is The Voyage Blog. <br />You understand some chairacteristics about who your son is and how he learns best that someone working with me needs to understand that will help them understand me better.<br />Also, if you have any ideas on todays post, Id like to hear it.<br />Again I published it before I read my comments on this post. Ive got to stop doing that.<br />Thanks, EdEdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08354784098768688627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36759819.post-90834518169005309922007-01-16T07:55:00.000-08:002007-01-16T07:55:00.000-08:00I hope your wife's son is always safe.
Mostly I b...I hope your wife's son is always safe. <br />Mostly I blog about family life but sometimes I feel that I cannot morally stay silent on an issue. I worry though about such posts, that I will say the wrong thing and that I might do more harm than good. I admire those who can stand up for justice and rights and who use their blog to further this. I see you as doing this too. You are making it obvious that there is a different way to see and do things from the norm, and that is just as valid.Sharon McDaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550156204691696968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36759819.post-67261274298577479292007-01-16T06:38:00.000-08:002007-01-16T06:38:00.000-08:00Best wishes to your wife's son.
And yes, you are ...Best wishes to your wife's son.<br /><br />And yes, you are right, blogging does not have to be about debate. Many people blog to share their thoughts and experiences in a positive way, rather than to debate political opinions.abfhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01228622726560993968noreply@blogger.com
