I ...Hi Kim,<BR/><BR/>It was wonderful to meet you in person. I hope that there will be some other occasions that we will meet again. (Perhaps one of your book signings) I'm sorry that I missed having a piece of your cake in Madison. I had something come up at home so I could not make it to the RJ Julia event. I'll have to save that chocolate wine for another book signing, I guess. You'll have to post a photo of the cake on your blog. I'm sure that John enjoyed it! I really wish that I could have come tonight.The Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01878480926012068609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35048242.post-77594174671875236012007-09-26T16:51:00.000-04:002007-09-26T16:51:00.000-04:00Kim It was a great evening.

Anthony Butler, Dan's teacher and helper, told us that Dan fell into a deep and peaceful snore as soon as he got home. And yes, I can't say enough about Anthony.<BR/> The Audio version, read by John, is waiting for Dan in his room this evening. When Dan listened to the audio selection on John's site he broke into a big smile so I just knew we had to get the audio version of the book. (It's abridged and read by John). John reports - and it sounds right to me - that many individuals with autism hear themselves in his voice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35048242.post-69787064527841984392007-09-26T16:36:00.000-04:002007-09-26T16:36:00.000-04:00Thanks for sharing your experience, Kim!Thanks for sharing your experience, Kim!The Anti-Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027321787352577548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35048242.post-16897443410863506292007-09-26T16:32:00.000-04:002007-09-26T16:32:00.000-04:00"Normal" is what you do every day so my normal wil..."Normal" is what you do every day so my normal will not necessarily be your normal.

You deserve kudos for your support of another talented author, and as a believer in karma, I know the release of your book will be absolutely incredible.<BR/><BR/>I shudder at the thought of being described as 'normal', I urge everyone to revel in the things that make them different.
