Hi Manders,
I am pleased that things are a a little better now. I'll say 'good-morning' to you because its 7am here. WP is a great place to find help, I agree. I don't imagine there's anything else like here. I think we we were all worried I am sure anyone would respond positively to any PM sent. |

Like you, I am watching the various autism-themed films. Try "Chocolate" and "Ben X". They are good...foreign films so you have to be comfortable with subtitles.[/quote]
