And if you are someone who has been touched by ASD or by someone on the spectrum and would like to be part of the event in some way (guest post, sponsor, etc) please shoot me an email!
I have two fraggy questions bouncing around in my mind... if you can help please leave a comment or shoot me an email ...
- How do I write a general disclaimer for the event? I want something that covers differing opinions and if they make medical or scientific claims - if you deal with this on your blog or elsewhere can you point me in the right direction?
- I want to alert the local media... I figure an event this big might spark some interest from the traditional media - how much before April 1 should I send it?
We're still adjusting to the time change... I know it's important somewhere, but I hate dragging my butt up in the dark, and the almost teenager is incredibly surly in the mornings, exponentially worse than usual... I even stooped to buying her a Starbucks Chai Latte yesterday morning and it didn't even put a dent in her...
Today (Friday, for those reading a little early) Wayne and I are going to meet the person that will probably be Liam's teacher next year! Hoping I really like her and her program, and that the SC State Government doesn't do something stupid like pull funding for 4K programs...
I think that Robyn's soccer coaches are seriously trying to kill her... a week Saturday she has nearly back to back games and then 1/2 an hour break before they do a bake sale and car wash for three hours to raise money for the team... I know I couldn't run for two hours straight and then wash cars for three hours!
Erik has (knock on wood) slept over 5 hours a stretch for the past two nights! I almost feel human!
Robyn killed another backpack this morning - her third this year!! I'm not sure whether its a testament to the fact that I'm cheap or that she has way too much homework for a single book bag, but if anyone has a great book bag review opportunity, I'm all ears!!! I think she may need an industrial strength one... especially since next year she's taking 4 high school classes in 8th grade.
I am really going to try and clear up some outstanding reviews and giveaways this weekend... so watch for some great new things!
I really appreciate everyone that has hooked up with Thirsty For Comments the past few weeks! I am always bad about getting through the entire list, but it does happen before the end of the week...
I think it's time for bed, so g'nite everyone... I'll see you later :)

Very often I wonder if the coaches or planners ever think about families with multiple kids with the dumb schedules they throw at them. I have no idea of reasons behind the schedule but couldn't the car wash be held on Sunday?

I think if you google "disclaimer" with some key words, you will be able to find something pretty suitable for your needs. Congrats on getting your event going! It's wonderful to see people get involved in their causes.

Good luck with your event. You can send a press release to your local newspapers at least 2 weeks ahead of time; so if they want to do a story they can assign someone. I would resend a shorter version 2 days prior.
My grandson Kyle has severe autism which is secondary to a syndrome. I will pass you onto to my daughter...
