Adjourned, final hearing May 20th. Never underestimate the focus of a child.

Worth the read. Going to check out her website next.

There's also an absolutely beautiful biopic by HBO. Brought me to tears.

If I could give three thumbs up I would.
rpm,
hear! hear!
I'd give her Banana Cream Pie for a solid week.
Too bad she didn't ask for bacon.
From the mouths of babes.....now I want banana creme pie!
Wirecutter, she gets bacon daily. Banana cream pie is an unusual request for her. Never, in almost 18 years, has she asked for it.
A made-for-tv movie was made about her. Claire Danes played her. It is a great stry. My dtr met Dr G in Lubbock at Texas Tech where she gave a lecture.
We are probably talking about the same thing. Time to call it a day. :P
Yep, that's the link I put up, Kelley. Is your daughter a SpEd teacher? I got to meet Dr. G at a seminar in Amarillo.
Sweet Dreams, K.
No she isn't. I made the fam watch it on TV and got the DVD as a gift. She knew her from that. We all absolutely loved it.
Sweet dreams!
I met her the first year after getting the girls' autism diagnoses (6 months apart). It was the first glimmer of hope I had that year.
And Clare Danes was brilliant.
