I think Autreat 09 is locked in already for June 29-July 3, 2009.)<BR/><BR/>(And we really need to get one of these blogger symposia going here on the East Coast! For a number of reasons, shoehorning a blogger panel session into AANE's summer conference for adults on the spectrum didn't work out, but a separate standalone program for sometime in the fall or winter might be a possibility.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510151176700173298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202467949945153658.post-29036763854312639372008-06-28T10:45:00.000-07:002008-06-28T10:45:00.000-07:00Many times I get the feeling that the internet is ...Many times I get the feeling that the internet is only a tool for any immature 14 year old (or adult acting like an immature 14 year old) with a keyboard and internet access to spew whatever screed they deem important to them at that instant.<BR/><BR/>Then things like this come along to remind me that the internet can also be an essential tool in linking people of disparate locations but similar circumstances. And that the net can facilitate intelligent discussions, which can lead to increased levels of understanding by all, which can lead to people taking action "off the net" both locally and regionally, which can lead to large, grassroots movements.<BR/><BR/>The stone's a rolling, and it's picking up speed.<BR/><BR/>JoeClub 166https://www.blogger.com/profile/01816977079856902634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202467949945153658.post-38916202876190972072008-06-28T06:59:00.000-07:002008-06-28T06:59:00.000-07:00Steve, I sit her in awe of what you and the other ...Steve, I sit her in awe of what you and the other folks--presenters, panelists, attendees--accomplished together.<BR/><BR/>Though I am not yet at a point of getting involved in any significant advocacy, I know that you and others along with you are paving the way.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your passion, fortitude, and willingness.Niksmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715465327343655483noreply@blogger.com
