I'm not sure where this town is, but it might be a larger organization.. Some of it was
interesting to read regardless of whether a person can actually attend the meetings or not. I
liked the part about how visually, these disorders are invisible.. I had just been talking about
that and how we don't get the mercy that others with visible disabilities might receive from
society in general.. They don't see it and judge us as if we were exactly like they are.. or
worse... they may think we are arrogant or stubborn or prejudice or any other derrogatory
(sp) idea that they could think we are.. and they could act upon that false assumption..
(happens that way a lot with me anyway)

Cool deal... funny though, I think with the name, they just wanted an acronym to go with the word "passage". ;)
