Hi Dr. Law,
I also have a teenager with autism; he also has William's Syndrome, and is partially paralyzed. He is a most amazing young man as are most people who have ASD.
I am very curious and excited about this project: what kind of data do you expect to be collecting? How can we help?
I am a Family Health Partner for the Fort Myers Children's Medical Service which means I am an advocate for families dealing with a variety of challenges. Not surprisingly, families struggling with ASD comprise a healthy portion of my referrals. I have forwarded this site to many of them, but they will want to know more before they commit even ten minutes that they already don't have to spare. Services for families that have children with ASD are practically nonexistant in this state and there is currently a wait list of about 19,000 to receive waiver services-the only way to get behavioral services here. I know this does not distinguish us from much of the rest of the country and I will keep encouraging them to participate.
Thank you for your hard work and, again, please let me know how I can help.
