Do you think it would be inappropriate for me to hold an inservice with Waylon's teachers on the correct way to rinse poop out of underwear?

I am well aware that these amazingly patient, talented, kind-hearted and selfless people did not go to college to learn how to rinse out underwear.

That's why I would like to teach them myself.
It sure would make Waylon's backpack and my laundry room smell better.

It's about time...

Odds are, if you've ever read a media headline about autism, it has the word vaccine in it somewhere, or it is reporting the latest numbers of kids being diagnosed.
Well, frankly my friends, I don't give a crap.
It's too late for us now for the vaccine fight. Whether you are pro or con, we're up to date until junior high. And, I'm dearly sorry about the other 87, but I'm mostly concerned about what to do with my #1.
We walk for autism, we donate where we can, and for pete's sake we pay our taxes. I just don't understand, when so many dollars are raised and we have the most high-tech healthcare system in the world, why we can't come up with some answers.
Stop with the blessed vaccine argument. Stop with the incessantly depressing head counts. Throw me a bone here, researchers- I just want to figure out how to get my kid to talk.

Alright, so down from the pedestal with some good news. This article caught my eye this morning. FINALLY! Research that seems promising. Dollars being spent for a good cause. Sure, it's early in the studies, but maybe someday.... I'll shoot some meds up my kid's nose, and words will come out of his mouth. Maybe...
