I want a new Chevy Camaro. There. I said it. I'm a 46 year old mother of 3 children living in Connecticut whose travels include Trader Joe's and on a good day I might venture to Westport. And I want want want want a Camaro. Dark gray please. With the 6 speed manual transmission so only I can drive it. There's a killer yellow one with the black racing stripes in town. I know the guy who drives it is at least 64 years old and probably needs dental work and is reliving his youth. Don't care. This car makes my heart race. Did I mention I'm 46 and have three kids and live in CT? My heart doesn't race often unless I overdo the Starbucks. I want this car. So maybe buy 100 copies of my book, OK? (Kidding on that one.)
And remove 4 of the seats.

I can too. I miss it terribly. I see a killer BMW or another car that SHOULD be stick and is automatic and a spit on the sidewalk "wimp..." :)
Hi Kim, I just discovered your blog after seeing an ad for your book. I read the except on your webpage and couldn't stop smiling (laughed a bit too). I am an educator and have been working with children with Autism for 20 or so yrs. Right now I am an AP at a school in NJ for children 3 to 21 yrs on the Spectrum.I have to tell you that it is parents like you that have made me love what I do. You are so grounded and positive in the wake of all you have to handle. Be very proud of yourself. You are a beacon of hope for many parents, teachers and children/adults who have Autism in their lives. Thanks.. and I for one will be picking up your book! I would like to request you as a friend on facebook. ok?
take care. Meg (Meegen) Gerrity
PS.. I too can drive a manual transmission. I have a Saab and noone else drives it!! Get the Camaro!!!!!!!!!!
Meegen, a Saab was my dream car for DECADES. An old frog back 900 Turbo - anthracite gray. Mine all mine with the stick on the floor next to the key and that crazy reverse. Sigh... Thanks for the kind words. I should come to NJ, don't you think? Is there an independent bookstore near you? We could set up a meet and greet and compare car stories. :)
Id love it if you came to NJ. We are however..closer to the "Philly"side of south jersey.. about 40 min out of AC. By independent do you mean like a Borders or Barnes and Noble?? There aren't many small town bookstores unless you go into Collingswood.. that may be an option...Lets do it!!
