Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Hi, I am new to the group and have a 20 year old son with aspergers. I just wanted to share my tears of JOY for all of the families the passage of this bill will help! Also a big thank you to Kennedy and the many others who have dedicated their time and passion to helping those affected by autism. Sue ________________________________ From: M.
