Hope it's a great day

Thanks over 750 registrations and growing I am a little like a headless chicken right now, less than a day away, people overdosed and not sure I will make any sense on the day, but all coming together including the weather

A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who made todays event (3 May 2009) Autism Awareness fun run/walk in Noth Hagley Park, Christchurch, NZ - so, so special and it was great to be a majority for a change! will post some photos as soon as get time, as while I have found the whole experience brilliant, also as an ASD individual people overdosed and extremely exhausted right now.

I can not help but wonder how much of a difference these events make, after 3 months of playing and organising... the day passes by quite quickly....

Any suggestions on how we can regularly make more of an impact in society.... I so feel any decision should not be about us without us, but quite often find my self working with none ASD individuals and continually having to compromise, feels like my sanity at times!
