Sorry it came off that way.  Flippant and uncaring that is.  I find working
with parents that the concerns are the same just more so with kids with
disabilities.  Breathe, enjoy your child and no matter what they tell you,
expect the best from your daughter.
I also find that MDs sometimes leave parents hanging, with lots of questions
and very little answers.  I've got a few places when you have a moment
(ha,ha) you can feel free to check them out.  I've listed them at
www.bv.net/~john/autism.html

Let me know what you think of Judevine.  Hope your visit goes well.

Beth the OT
