I am so proud of you! Cried when I read your post! Your Husbands comment was so touching. I love what you said at the end of your speech, so true, very powerful. I will now pray that the hearts of those you spoke to will make the right changes for our children. God Bless you for the courage to be a leader for all of the ASD moms' like us out there.
