Ok, ok, ok I didn't last long!

Ok, I know I didn't last long not blogging. So here is my big debut on youtube!!! Todd and I were interviewed at the Defeat Autism Now conference in October, about bio-medical treatments & autism. Hope you guys enjoy. Dr. Levinson made a huge impact on me at my first conference in New Jersey about a year after JoJo was diagnosed. He told everyone to in vision your son or daughter better and have faith in a higher power & determination. He really impacted me that day, & I'm grateful for him for that.

That was inspiring!! You guys were great on it (loved your hair), but i wish JoJo was on it too, so everyone on youtube could see just how CUTE and precious this boy of yours is!! His smile lights up a room. This doc seems so great, I was totally interested in everything he said and wish more docs gave that kind of hope and concern.

I watched your interview and totally cried. You are such a cute mom and I love how active you are in trying to get him through this. I know we always say this but we really do need to go to lunch or something. I'm glad you're back on your blog :)

I just read through your blog and loved it. I'm so happy you left a comment on my blog so I could blog-meet you! We share in so many of your issues with autism--especially EATING. The worst. I'd love to chat some day about the bio-medical treatments you've tried and seen progress with. What great parents JoJo has. I always feels such an instant bond with other parents with ASD kids. Thanks for sharing JoJo's life with us.
