We are here for you. Though I may not know how you feel in your situation, I know how I felt and if it's relatively close, just having someone say "how are you?" means a lot.
Hi Nicole
Let me extend to you my personal welcome to our AutismOne Social Network. AutismOne is now the “one-stop-shopping center” for information about autism. We have the annual conference in Chicago, AutismOne radio, the Elizabeth Birt Center for Autism Law and Advocacy and now the AutismOne Social Network (and more to come).
I notice that you’ve not made any entries into your profile. Remember, this is a social network. Part of the function of a social network is to meet and interact with others who have common interests. Of course autism is a common interest. But there is more than that. Individuals like to know about a person before becoming a “friend.” That’s where the profile comes in. So whenever you can find the time, please fill in some of the entries of your profile. To do that just click on “My User Menu” next to the Welcome area on the right. From the resulting menu click on “Edit My Profile” and you will be in business.
Helping you interact with others is one of the many things we can do for you. Now here’s something you can do for us. Every new community requires a good hard kick start to get going. We need you to help us with that. Log in on a regular basis and read the blogs and articles then write a blog yourself. It can be on any subject of interest to you, preferably with some relevance to autism but not necessarily. It can be short or long, whatever it takes for you to express your thoughts. If you have a question then ask it in a blog--people read then they respond. If you see something with which you agree or disagree then please add a comment with your thoughts. This is an open community designed to help and support. We like to hear all sides.
I am looking forward to reading your opinions in future blogs and/or articles.
With my best regards
Will Price, CFO

About Me
I help run a support organization called Autism Resource Network.
I will warn you it is a very large mountain to climb. You really have to be willing to get to the mountain, get all geared up, than have to leave do to a meltdown before you ever step on snow. If you decide to take this challenge please send me a note and I can give a few tips to maybe make each trip a little more successful. I had to learn all this the hard way. You also have to be ok with the fact you pay for a ski pass of which you never use. Call the resort a head of time, tell them of your situation, its possible someone can be there to help you as you arrive.
