I really enjoy doing family activities these days!  Tonight I went shopping with my dad and mother.  They both asked my opinion about what to buy and took my suggestions seriously!  Before RPM, I would not have been able to communicate my opinion to them!  RPM has opened up things for me in ways I had never dreamed of!  I thank God that I met Erika and Amy and that my parents work with me!

People try to see things differently, but they more times than not have the very same desires as everyone else!  They all want to be loved and to love!  People with autism have the same desires as everyone else!  They just show it in a different way!  I think that those with autism need to be loved just like everyone else!
