I have the internet and a rocking chair (I need to rock quite often). And of course thousands of pages of documentation regarding my autistic son. Do Paxil and Xanax count?

I'm planning to get a few "I have autism" type shirts for my son; he looks very normal until he starts talking, and it confuses a lot of people; I'm tired of trying to explain it; and some of the shirts are kinda cool.

Good fortune,

- Icarus the Tired Dad

I have a sports bottle that says "Autism, Would you know it if you saw it?" and other than that I get those stupid Autism Society magazines because I was forced to join the national group by the local group.
