What a nice lunch on Friday. Dave and I are on a budget, so it's always a treat to get together with friends at a restaurant. Our friends, Christina and Francesca, agreed to join David and I at our favorite on-campus spot: La Crepe Bistro. The owner, Michel, is from the Alsace region of France, as was my grandmother. So, whenever I eat a "Michel-made crepe", I feel as if my grandmere has reached down from Heaven, hugged me, and said "hang in there, Kiddo".
Francesca had eaten crepes before, but this was Christina's very first crepe. Some people dislike them, so we would not have been offended if she hadn't. But, Yay!! She enjoyed it, which makes both Dave and me happy.
About Me
- Mary Nisson
- The Autism Spectrum ranges from "Level 1" (requiring some support) through "Level 3" (requiring very substantial support). My son, David M. Nisson, PhD, is at "Level 2" (requiring substantial support). He dreamed of earning college degrees in Experimental Physics, but only wealthy "Twice Exceptional" students could afford this. It's against my religious values to ignore "Talents", so, with my support, David went on to complete a Ph.D. at UC Davis Physics and contribute to the all-important world of scientific research. This blog serves both as a reference for the increasing numbers of parents following in my footsteps, and a warning that in addition to advocating for academic accommodations and arranging behavior programs, parents must also spend time studying medical issues that seem minor during childhood, and to participate now in the reform efforts of crucial national agencies like SSA and HUD, and those of your city, county and state government to protect your sons' or daughters' futures.
