Doing what we can ...



[Theodore Roosevelt quote found here.]

The next few hours I hope to be found in my "studio" [totally an unfinished basement with just a nook I've taken over, but doesn't "studio" sound dreamy?] ... and I hope to be able to do 2 things at once [painting while talking].

Because for 2.5 hours [kind of random, I know, but that's what I've been told] I will be on a phone.  Answering questions ... as part of a huge Autism / DNA study that we are participating in.  Why?  Well. Because I totally believe in the quote above by Theodore Roosevelt.  All we can do is say "This is us.  This is who we are & what we're doing."  And maybe someone, somewhere, someday can take our little pieces of information & plug it into that huge puzzle of Autism.  Neat huh?  We think so.  :)  That's why we're doing it.  So worth it if it can help someone, somewhere, some day. :)

I'm so proud of your whole family for taking the time to do this. You forgot to mention that you and the family already drove half-way across the state, had blood samples drawn and were interviewed for half a day.
