OT: Any notaries interested in Autism and helping the

cause for 1 in 110 children in America, check out The Comedy Channel's Too Many Stars Fundraising Extravaganza - Tom Hanks, Betty White, and lots more laughs...

My nice nephew is dealing with his developmental disability as a young man now, and graduated from High School and is taking Community College coursework. And I've conducted many a'signing in homes with Austic children.

The show's fabulous. JFYI and Enjoyment.

Susan-If you have not already seen it, rent "Temple Grandin"

It is a fantastic HBO movie about Dr. Temple Grandin...an autistic woman. Well, famous in my "circles" being involved with agriculture at my job...her master's degree was in animal husbandry and her PhD(s), I'm not sure. She designed many more humane practices for slaughter houses.

Now she has transitioned over into communicating with "norms" so that they can better understand and teach autistic children. I have watched her on CSPAN and a friend of mine saw her in Dallas week before last when she attended a conference on autism.

The movie will inspire the heck out of you, since you have a person you love who is dealing with autism.
