Greetings Everyone -

I just learned that a Quality of Life Grant is now open to those who reside in the Mid Atlantic Region and wanted to send this out to you.

I have not updated this artile yet with this information, but should get to it soon.

I have reviewed a DVD and a book, my son Nicholas looked at another book that I now need to. Once I am able to get these typed out they will be posted on the site. With my son Matthew home on vacation this is a bit harder to achieve as he follows me all over the house, bangs on everything and taps on the keyboard and screen.

Here is an article I wrote over the weekend:

Characters with Autism on Day and Night Time Soaps
Exploring how shows are integrating an autism storyline with their characters and how viewers relate to them.
