@bigheartedgirl, where do you live?

Visit the ASAN website and get on the mailing list, check out chapters, etc! And if there isn't one near you, maybe you could start one! :)

If they wanted to help us they would be push for the prosecution of people in the pharmaceutical industry instead of hiring them. I am concerned about whether treatment is ethical. I don't want insurance paying for inhumane treatment. I can talk and my complaints were ignored will I was put through weeks of drug induced suffering, which I may never fully recover from. Peter Bell of Autism Speaks and J&J would not even friend me on Facebook.

Wish I could have been there! I wonder if there is a chapter of ASAN where I live.
