1 in 150

did you know 1 in 150 children will be diagnosed with autism?

i know 1 very special boy with a form of autism known as pervasive developmental disorder. a wonderful friend of mine, luci, has a son adam who in 2005 was diagnosed with ppd-nos.

luci, in addition to being an amazing mom to adam (now 6) and abby (1), has an incredible way with words and recently got into blogging herself. wow - her site is great and truly an inspiration! the site also includes a lot of stuff aside from her life with adam and autism. please, please take the time to visit it if you have a free moment. you can link to her site here or on the right under "sites we love", schaeffer family.

luci's site doesn't have a comments section, but please feel free to leave any comments for luci here and i'll see that she gets them.

Did we go to school with Scott? He looks sooo familiar!

You're right- Luci's site is awesome. She really does have a way with words. She should write a book. I love her blog!

PS- GO TONY! Such a big boy!

Yes, Scott graduated in 1993 and was "Marryin' Sam" in Lil' Abner...I'm sure that's why you recognize him!

christy-her blog is amazing as so is yours. I agree with the Frey's she should write book or speak about Ada to the public. Tell her I said that she is bless with more than one gift & she needs to allow them to shine! Not only through Adam but through her words! We should all get together sometime!
