New in Virginia Beach. Anyone else in my area?

Steve & Shannon are my friends from college. So it's with great pleasure that I join this forum. I'm so proud to hear, read and know about their involvement in the autism community. I'm looking to connect with and get other moms I know (dads too) involved in this forum. Anyone living within Virginia Beach & the surrounding cities? Let's connect! I've lived here for the past 7 years & have found little if no support. The support groups are "okay" but nothing I can really relate to. Is there anyone else in the Hampton Roads area who has a child with autism? Please contact me. I want to find a social network of friends for my son, who's 13, Thanks! And, again, thanks Shannon & Steve for your continued support & creative inventions to help all of us! Love ya!

Hi!
Great to see you here, girl!  The photos of your boys and family are beautiful....
Been a long time since college, huh?  Who knew that we would meet again over the cause
of autism?....I hope to see you here often.

I know. I was just trying to leave a message on Steve's page but it wouldn't let me. Who would've thought that after 19 yrs. we'd be meeting up again under these circumstances? Thanks for your kind comments...my family is beautiful to me. They've been a lot of hard work, including the hubby (lol) but I LOVE 'em all...I just need a sanity break ever now & then. I really enjoyed seeing your family pics as well. The last time I saw a picture of them was in your Christmas letter in 1998, I think it was...Wynn was just 3 & Haley was just a baby. I remember thinking how cute he looked in those pictures. I remember reading your letter about the therapy, dx., etc...never realizing that within just a few months I would be faced with the same situation. My heart aches for you & Steve 'coz I think your situation is so much more severe than mine & yet I've complained & lamented to God as to why He's allowed this to happen to me. Just know I care, I'm here, as a friend...always. Thanks for sharing your lives w/all of us here. We've got to get together sometime soon. Love to you & kisses for your mom, too! Love the fact that she's gotten so involved also! Talk 2 u soon!
