Right on. I'd put these on the bus I ride if I could :)
Love the bumper stickers - and keep posting - you're not alone out there!
You are doing a great job!
HONK!!!!
I don't know if you saw last week's eposide of HOUSE, but the really was emotional. It was about a boy with autism who couldn't articulate what was wrong with him, but House finally figures it out (as usual). In the end, he gives Dr. House a hug.

Honk Honk!
Your stories are great, especially the cat on the mozobo!

Mine says "Honk if you understand Punctuated Equilibria." I got it from a bookseller at a meeting. Nobody ever honks but I suspect it is because they are too introverted.
Hello Miss Dennis,
I really like your blog. I find it so interesting that sometimes I almost forget it is written in English. You must know that your blog is a great help in letting me know what the good and the bad things are for someone living in NY.
Please, take a look at my webpage too:
http://www.disabled-stories.blogspot.com
You might also be able to help me with the gifted students I am looking for.
All the best
Nicholas
P.s: I also sent you a relevant mail yesterday.
Anybody who works with autistic children should have a special place in heaven reserved for them. I hope when you get there(of course after you reached 100+) that place has your name on it.
HONK!
My baby sister gets great services upstate for Aspergers, and I wish the same coould be said for the city. I'm applying to teach special ed though with NYCTF so let's hope we can make some changes, save the world, etc. etc. :)
Regulations and other circumstances permitting, expect to see one of those bumper stickers on a patrol car belonging to a police department in the State of Michigan in a few years.

Dear Miss Dennis:

Glad to see you're still out there.
I am awaiting the story you started to tell about the court case (when you can of course).
Are you back with the DoE?
honk honk... visit my site to read my experience with the autism run. quite a humorous attempt on my part.

I love your Autism bumper stickers. This is a cause near and dear to my heart. My husband is part of Buffalo Musicians Against Autism. Local bands contribute songs for a benefit Christmas CD to raise money for local Autism services. Check out their website and listen to some of the songs - classics and originals. =)

i teach and in my class i have one student with autism and another with aspergers. i love the bumperstickers.
I hope your lack of posting is that you're busy, not drowning. (I taught science at IS 174 in the Bronx for three years, so I know how it can be.) Post again soon, please :)
