		<description>Absolutely.  You HAVE to have hope.

With regards to partnering or mentoring, that&#039;s exactly what I want to do.  I already work with three families of children with autism in my spare time.  And in a couple of weeks I&#039;m starting grad school.  I&#039;m going into Rehab Counseling to work with kids with autism and their families professionally.  I know I&#039;ve benefited tremendously from the experience of those who worked with my family and my son.  I hope I can pass that on and help others too.</description>

		<description>I think it&#039;s the people who lack &#039;hope&#039; that have the hardest time.
Thanks for your kindly comment on my blog.
I&#039;ve heard of schemes that &#039;partner&#039; parents of newly diagnosed children with parents of older children.  They often produce very supportive relationships.
For other people, blog serve the same purpose.
Best wishes to you and yours</description>
