| 2009-11-23 | Mark | 9 | 9 | 9 | 10 | No | Thanks, exactly what I was looking for. Take care. |
| 2009-10-21 | Lisa | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you for your response. I guess that we already knew this was the best option for our son b/c we need to do everything in our power to help him be safe with his life. He is 24, and doesn't "have" to listen to our concerns. But it is hard to ignore all friends and family giving the same message, and we will deliver this hard message because we care about him. |

| 2009-07-14 | Richard | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you for your feedback. I have since replaced the advocate since he seemed ambivalent. The new advocate is much better and I think that she will be more proactive on resolving things now. Thank you again. |

| 2008-12-16 | Catalina | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you. I did not really expect for you to answer the rest... because in fact it was not a question. I will look for the Autism Society, and hopefully I'll be able to find some clear strategies and instructions to reduce both states. I hope I can get some help here in Perth, WA. Cheers. Catalina |
