    Great job, Ali. I am a Canadian and unable to donate through 6 degrees. We met in Edmonton, Alberta (non-journalling gal). I hope they can soon find a cure for Autism. Have a good day.

    Oh, Ali this is great! I've just viewed the video clip and it almost made me cry at the wonderful awareness and exposure you are helping to bring for autism. (My son has PDD, so this is close to my heart as well.) Thanks for all that you do. God bless!

    ok so you have a gazillion comments already but I too wanted you to know this piece of video touched my heart as well. It's obvious what a network of individuals have reached out to you as you have to them. So proud of you!!!

    Hi Ali! This is so cool!
    I just started getting the AEZine in January, and I haven't seen it come out for quite awhile. One question I have to ask...are you still going to be doing it? Hope so!
