Resources
When my daughter was first diagnosed with autism, I wondered why there was no place to find answers. Of course technologly and access have changed in the past 8 years. Following are some links. Each may lead you closer to peace and learning. Be active and purposeful. That is my only advice as a Mom.

We've got Sole-
One of my favorite, for sure, most comfortable pair of shoes are my TOMS. There is a great story behind them. They bring the soul back to soles. Curious... http://www.tomsshoes.com/

Isha II
Should you have crossed the path of our beloved Isha II. Here is a great link for you: WWW.CCI.org
Due to recent changes in the disabled population there is an increased interest in placing dogs with veterans. Why? Because they are generally motivated, strong and organized individuals. Which are characteristics that are desirable for recipients.
To the Vets out there; all I can say is that a sudden change in life circumstances can be eased by the companionship of a dog. It takes the 'dis' out of disabled. It is the strongest and easiest bridge to cross between the akward stares of the stunned and the tender heart of the recipient. It may take you longer to get around. But more likely than not it will be because people want to stop and talk to you. Being on the 'go' will take on a new meaning, hopefully at a slower yet more joyful pace.
If you are interested take a moment to view the Canine Companion website.
