You have done amazingly...I think this is fantastic. You have done amazingly well to create awareness about the subject. How amazing is it that Tess would like to spend a day with parents that have children with autism. This actually says a lot about her. I was very upset when you wrote the letter to her as I was not happy about someone not understanding that sometimes there are situations where we can't do much about our children's behaviour. Thank you for doing this and I'm sure a lot of parents with children with disability will feel related. Thanks so much for sharing this at #KCACOLS. It is always a pleasure to have you! :-) xA Moment With Francahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11031827607051282088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349668044326313600.post-57796209046392513352016-09-26T02:10:43.624-07:002016-09-26T02:10:43.624-07:00It's great that you are creating awareness and...It's great that you are creating awareness and I really hope your piece gets commissioned as I think it would be great to do.<br /><br />Thank you for linking up to #KCACOLS and I hope to see you back again on Sunday xMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964407829009914058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349668044326313600.post-39339607070711975072016-09-24T21:36:51.921-07:002016-09-24T21:36:51.921-07:00It's stories like this that keep me going.

I'm also sure that its changed the opinions of many others too and spread a lot of awareness to those who previously knew nothing or very little about autism. I really hope Tess Stimson spends some time with families like yours to further her own knowledge and then pass it on to others too.
