Hi there towman, glad ta meet ya! Thank you, I'd like to think of myself as a strong person. Thanks too for reminding me that kids don't care if we have AS, they just love (and are soooo cute to boot!) As for churches, I did try several (one which I actually once belonged to) but I have a quirk about being preached at while I am suffering (believe me, I've developed a gentle type of loathe for HolyRollers). Also, once my age is discovered~I'm all of 30, I become low priority...I live in the metro Detroit area, there are a lot of people that need help in one way or another....but, I will keep looking! Chat ya later, JP
