Hi Everyone! I am a university student from the northeast and currently enrolled in an Autism class. In order to gain a better understanding of autism, we were assigned a project in which we would "adopt a family" who has a child with autism. It would generally involve a once a week interaction on this blog between myself and the family, where I would ask questions or talk about topics related to what we discuss in class in order to get a first-hand perspective on someone directly affected by autism. This would last until about the end of April and everything will be kept confidential. If there is a family that would be interested in sharing their experiences with me for the semester, please feel free to contact me on this blog, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
