But I haven't forgotten what month this is: Autism Awareness Month.
Y is doing her part to get the message out. The message we'd like to see more of.


This is the shirt we had made. It was J approved. In fact, he's getting a shirt of his own later this week. Y is wearing the shirt today. I still plan on getting some for her friends - whoever wants one. I know of three for sure. We're hoping there will be more after tomorrow. The process and shipment is fast so the shirts can be worn throughout the month. I'm late on getting this going but money has been the issue. When isn't it?
We're also thinking of making stickers to pass out at school. J will have a hand in designing that like he did the shirts if I can find a good deal on getting the stickers in bulk.
This is what we'll be doing for autism awareness month.

Great to hear your knee is doing well.
And i just love the teeshirt! Cant wait to see more!
Very nice. Your daughter is beautiful. You can tell they are close kids. Wonderful!
Casdok & marla - thank you.
The T-shirt was fun to make. The stickers may be a problem. A pack of fifty is $80.00. I have to decide if I'm going to do that. And Y & J are very close. It makes me proud to say they're my kids.
Glad to hear your knee is healing well. And I love the shirt!!
As the autistic sister to non autistic siblings, I heartily approve of your daughter's shirt (only a month late, too...followed a link). What a COOL sister.
A propos de Danann: Back in the first season of the Asperger's Association of New England's Film Series, we screened John Sayles's beautiful film "The Secret of Roan Inish", viewing it and discussing it as an allegory for positive, constructive family responses to autism. The family discovers the child that they thought had been lost, was really there all along, but in a part of their world they had left -- and finally came back to reclaim.
