A Dream Come True



I found out yesterday evening that I was accepted into my grad school program in educational psychology. I got a letter from the edpsych program and am awaiting my formal letter from the main department (administrative/formality). My dream of doing research to help others with Autism Spectrum Disorders is going to be a reality.

When your child is diagnosed with Asperger’s, there is often a great deal of uncertainty about that child’s future. I still need more help in certain areas than others my age do, but I will continue to learn throughout my life.

When I started this blog in 2006 I was uncertain where life would take me. When one educational path didn’t work, I kept trying new ones until I found the right one. The picture above is of me celebrating yesterday night with my family.

Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you!!

I am also excited for the children whose lives you will impact in such a positive way.

I also wanted to thank you for reaching out to me when my son was first diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. I have tried to compose a letter to you for the last three years, but have just not had the right words. Your encouragement and positive outlook meant a lot to me and I thank you for that. Reading your blog has helped me--and Micah--in ways you will never know, and for that I thank you.

Congratulations again! I look forward to reading about this new chapter in your life.

Blessings,
Deborah and Micah
