Graf 18
So far, not so good. I wanted to interview someone for my paper and contact someone from the Penquis autism division. We decided I would email my questions, since we both work full time and have busy schedules, but so far, I haven't heard back from her. I requested a book from the library that I am going to pick up tomorrow. But I think my goal of interviewing a live person is kaput. You suggested I contact DHHS, but since I work for them, I haven't found any real lead there. Same thing with CHCS. I have dealt with them in the past and where I want to go with this paper isn't what I see them doing. So most of my research will be from any books I find, articles in magazines (Family Circle has an excellent article in this month's issue) and websites. My biggest frustration is the lack of time that I have. I work 40 hours per week (who doesn't) and when I get home, I go to the gym. That is a given. I also have a commute time of 75 niles per day. Yes, I would like some cheese with my whine. Thankfully, I have a self sufficient 16 year old who cooks his own meals (a better cook than his dear, old mum). I just need to get myself organized, which I hope to do this weekend.

You might try google groups or google blogs--there will be stuff and real people there, I think. Let's take a quick look (back in a second).
ReplyDeleteHere's the first page that came up on blogs when I used 'autism'

Lot of junk in both places, but at a glance, some good stuff too. But in both cases, this material is put up by ordinary people.
