Can this also include Aspergers syndrome? High functioning autism.

Absolutely Krafty! We are all on the same spectrum!

Maybe all that join could click this link. http://theautismsite.greatergood.com. My Grand son has Aspergers! I am not joining because I am not a writter and my daughter only tells me a little! God bless each and every one of you!

I was going to do this but your 3.0 rating screams flakers so good luck with this.

Krafty: I kept the 3.0 rating because sometimes with Autism things in our lives can cause things to be a little unpredictable. I would hate to exclude someone because of that. I will look at profiles and do my best to determine if someone is a flaker. But at the end of the day, this is about support... I would rather send a letter that brings someone else hope and be ok not recieving one in return than to not offer the hope and outlook i have to share :)

I'm a newbie and this will be my first swap but it's close to my heart. I myself have Autism but so does my almost 7 year old daughter. She's my first born (I have 4 kids) and I have learned so much from her. So, I hope it's okay I joined being I'm new. I promise not to flake. I think this is an amazing swap!

I mailed my letter yesterday afternoon, just didn't get around to logging in and marking it sent, so sorry--this was a good letter for me to write, but it only scratrched the surface,probably should have written more but ran out of time.
