I have a new blogger friend!

I started blogging just recently, and one of my earlier posts was about my son Cal who is a special needs child. I wrote about his diagnosis of Autism/Fragile X and how that has affected our family. After I posted that entry, I received my very first comment; and I was so excited and a little nervous. I read the comment, from FXS Mom, and returned a comment. We then began e-mailing back and forth, and this mother (with 4 children/2 of which are affected by Fragile X) gave me more insight into my son's condition than any specialist had as of yet. I read her blog daily to get inspiration. I am not saying my specialist didn't know what he was talking about, but I am saying all the information that was there when Cal was diagnosed may not be the same information that's there now. We haven't been back to a genetisist, in several years, but now I am curious as to what we would be told. We were told that Fragile X and Autism could not be proven to be related, and now that information has changed (see the link on the right to learn more about this). My new blogging friend shed a whole new light on Fragile X for me, and the very first blog comment I received may have been one of the most important things I've ever read. Thanks Beth....I'm glad we met!
