Dear Fred,
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. 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

Dear Fred,
I wanted to welcome you to the Autism One.
By becoming an active participant you can support and inspire others. Your sharing experience can lift other parents to help them move forward on this path. Autism can be challenging and puzzling. You can make a difference; together we can effectively resolve issues in a collaborative manner by addressing questions and providing feedback.
My son Jordan has made remarkable progress so please don’t ever give up hope!
Feel free to share your thoughts, stories and wisdom for we are all in this
To quote, Brandi Snyder: “To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.”

About Me
My wife and I are parents of a 19 year old girl with Autism SHe is also diagnosed with OCD and Intermittent Explosive Anger Disorder. We are pretty isolated, as Christy cannot tolerate allot of things that go on in the environment, such as TV volume, radio, people talking,clearing their throats....ect. Cabinet doors and drawers have to be shut at all times. She goes to a center based school program and is one on one with her teacher. She might be considered high functioning, she is very intelligent in her own way, but she is very stubborn and hard to teach. She can whip through a game of video solitaire so fast that I cannot keep up. She will not do anything she doesn't want to do. She is verbal, but speaks in catch phrases that she learns from video's. She use to be very hyper-active and outgoing. Not anymore. Now her security zone is In front of a computer watching YouTube. She wants someone to sit with her all the time. She obsesses on the same video's every day. Right now she is into Dark Wing Duck. She is also in love with Basset Hounds video's. When anything goes wrong she will explode. My wife and I are the sole caregivers though we do get some respit care. We have no family in the area.
Glad you like our website Fred, keep in touch and please let me know if I can assist you with anything.
