Thank you. I see that IPADDUnite's guest Chantale Sicile-Kira is on the list so

if any of you missed

her last time, here's another chance. Her son is soon to be 20 and she

always has practical

advice, as in her book " Adolescents on the Spectrum " or can atleast point you in

the right direction.
