| I myself have found a niche as a specialist at figuring out people with disabilities. Most people over look a lot of what might be going on under the skin and since I naturally find it easy to read people with problems it was a great fit, not to mention I don't have to deal with people that judge ma... |

| I can only be touched by my fiancé and my children. Anyone else and I cringe and pull away. Without you knowing it you learn their touch, no one has the exact same touch as another. |

| Inclusion in the class room shouldn't be the child expected to do and deal with what's going on in the class room alone, but an aid or teacher giving the child extra help and direction when needed.

| People will blame anything and anyone for the actions they do or don't do but they will never blame themselves. Just because they say I did this because of this doesn't mean its so, they are simply looking for a scape goat for their actions. Personal thoughts, I myself being the way I am ASD I find ... |
