Hi Ilana. I finally got to read your book during this

break. Your book moved me so much and I had no idea of what autism actually was until I read your book. I knew you struggled, I saw you often, so tired but

always smiling and so strong. My office got me your book for my birthday

because I kept saying how much I wanted to read it. I did not know the extent

of your struggles, nor did I understand Autism. You put so much in perspective

for me and your book touched me in so many ways. I am fortunate not to have

kids with Autism but James struggles so much with learning difficulties and

concentration and you opened my eyes to so many things. Most importantly that I

am blessed and that your struggles and successes with your boys over the years

have touched so many people. I have always admired you but I never fully

understood and I am so inspired by your book and your story and just wanted to

say thank you, for sharing your knowledge and for educating so many of us who

just did not understand. You are inspiring, heroic, and I just wanted to say

thank you to you and your amazing team for what you do for the kids. Thank you

for teaching me and for making me realize how grateful I need to be. You are

truly a hero in my eyes, as a mom, mentor, educator, you are inspiring all

those around you in so many different ways and I am one of them. G-d bless you

and your beautiful family.
