Sounding Off. Again.

Thanks to Google Alert, I was reminded that I was quoted for an article in Saturday's Tennessean about the state's inadequate counting system for autism incidence. By the time I landed back at my desk and replied to the just discovered email 24 hours after the Tennessean reporter sent it to me, she'd wrapped the story. However, she called me anyway and then, evidently because I didn't let that deter me from colorfully asserting my opinion about the "hideous" state of being next to last in the U.S. in terms of disAbility service offerings--only above Arkansas--she decided to quote and plug me into the story. Thank goodness my daughter's disAbility gave me the largest flag I've ever had and the life-time job of waving it. The issues serves to help me channel my talents and be more focused in my energies.

Here, the story.
