I understand some of Mr. Savage's concerns, but he has a serious problem in empathizing with autistic people and Aspies, how he expresses his concerns and how he expects others to communicate with us. <BR/><BR/>As I've posted, maybe he's a repressed Aspie himself. =|8-}/2<BR/><BR/>Ms. Johnson, that's a wonderful letter you gave, a true gift from your heart.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>Jeff DeutschJeff Deutschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00975267700905023579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-69187066322483583242008-07-21T22:34:00.000-04:002008-07-21T22:34:00.000-04:00Beautiful.

Touching and true.<BR/><BR/>How sad that autism families have to deal with fighting with doctors who have their own agenda, school officials who don't care and are overwhelmed, neighbors who don't get it, government officials who don't want to offer services, unsolicited parenting advice from every granny in the supermarket, idiots on airplanes, in restraunts, and elsewhere...and now, Michael Savage is inspiring a whole new slew of people to make life even harder. (Not to mention the actual struggles of dealing with the autism and therapies, etc.)<BR/><BR/>It's all kind of exhausting and depressing.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368949654517943219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-1413299172217699572008-07-21T18:59:00.000-04:002008-07-21T18:59:00.000-04:00Absolutely beautiful Shannon.Made me cry.KelliAbsolutely beautiful Shannon.<BR/><BR/>Made me cry.<BR/><BR/>KelliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
