What you did by cutting her our was good. All I can say is avoid these folks like the plauge they will never get it. Merry Christmas to you.
I have a friend whose daughter is autistic and I know a little boy he is five now,he is so smart,i am tired the way people treat people who are autistic,they act like they are stupid and they also make people with a mental illness seem stupid.They need to treat both us with respect.
