Thank you so much for writing your experiences. I'm so sorry you had to go through this, but it is already changing our life because of your work. Thank you!

Wow, I’m happy (and worried!) to hear that! I hope you mean you’ve learned something useful and not that you need to use the information because, dear God, I know how awful that is!! Thank you, Rebecca!

I'm so sorry you all have had to go through this, but so happy that a new chapter of your life can begin! I'm sure this 19 months has felt like several lifetimes to you!

Susan, I am so very happy and relieved for you. I pray your never, ever experiences anything like this again and I thank you for helping to educate others through documenting this nightmare scenario. I know this is my worst fear for my nephew who is autistic with very limited communication skills.

Thank you so much, Danielle. I appreciate your kind words! The best we can do for our autistic loved ones is to keep working with them (growth and change happens, I promise!) and to learn all we can about how to protect them and advocate for them. You're a wonderful aunt and I'm sure your nephew is going to make lots of progress!
