Guest guest Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 We have autism support in my area and I know a few parents who I can talk autism with but I still think it would be nice to have a safe retreat type place just for autism families. Many times living communities have formed over a common bond to help people feel less isolated and alone. Also I think parents biggest concern is about the future and having a place for their kids to live when we're gone that's why we want to create a safe community. Subject: Re: Need to VentTo: mb12valtrex Date: Tuesday, December 13, 2011, 8:32 PM In all seriousness, there is no need to do this.Does your area have a "challenger"-type sports league? If not, it's not too tough to do. All you need is a group of dedicated parents and someplace to go.You can search for this on FB:Toledo Area Challenged Athletes League (T.A.C.A.L.)My town is not very large, but we have a lot of supports through our area Autism Society, autism charter schools, health care/therapy providers, service providers, etc. There is a lot of opportunity for social interaction (for parents, too!) and no one - no one - cares if your kid has a melt down or tries to hit you.>> ok me too...I promise if i for some miracle get very rich i will set up a town like this!...

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Thanks Chana. The fear we feel for our kids is dark and overwhelming and insidious.
