Why wear a ribbon?

"Myself and family members on the spectrum." (mullion)

MDJunction to me

"When I found MD Junction, I was in the beginning stages of RSD/CRPS. I was scared, lacked knowledge about the condition, and felt very alone.

MD Junction changed all of that for me. I found friendship and terrific information from people who had first-hand knowledge of this syndrome. It was and still is a big part of my life.

MDJ was my first step on the journey of grief; from denial to acceptance. I am now inspired to help others by sharing this amazing site and sharing my own experiences. I am very impressed that one forum site can provide hope and inspiration to people suffering from so many different conditions. I am proud to be a part of this community.

Keep in mind, you are dealing with a 4 1/2 yo. They tend to have one track minds. I know I did. Try to redirect him

Just as his speech becomes more rich with each word or phrase he discovers his sense of humor will grow more rich with each added joke. Isn't it fun to discover a sense of humor? I was so excited when my son was ready to share his outside of the family. Previous discussions I participated in: Risperdol?
