I don’t wear a lot of jewelry, but what I do wear is very special to me. I wear my wedding set, a mother’s ring my husband got me after Nico was born, diamond studs my parents bought me many years ago and a miraculous medal that was my grandmother’s. Each piece has significance and I would feel naked without them. I think jewelry has that effect on many women. They feel drawn to pieces and wear those that are special to them.
I found a beautiful necklace that I know any mother, grandmother, therapist or teacher of an autistic child would love. It is a sterling silver jigsaw puzzle piece seated on an 18” sterling silver snake chain. The puzzle piece is the symbol for Autism making this the perfect necklace to stylishly support Autism Awareness. Ivy of ialuna has offered this necklace as a gift to one lucky Matthews Puzzle reader.

After visiting Age of Autism I learned that direct costs per ASD individual are estimated to be between $29,000 – $43,000 per year with annual indirect costs to the individual and/or family estimated to range from $39,000 to nearly $130,000-Wow. I don’t know how you do it.(((hugs)))

I have a college degree in Nursing and that article on Age of Autism was WAY over my head. I couldn’t tell what she was saying but I still suspect drug companies do not want a link between vaccinations and autism which I believe there is.

I learned that most autism parents (Mark Blaxill knows) generally agree that there OUGHT to be some kind of genetic susceptibility that we can discover in autism.

Follower, sito50
There’s what may be an advertisment for something call OsR, OSR#1TM is an antioxidant product that scavenges free radicals and helps maintain healthy glutathione levels. There’s an endorsement for the product that indicates it may help autism. Can this be for real?

I visited the Age of Autism, and learned that the specter of swine flu has commanded international attention, and media coverage already has saturated our minds. Each day brings new revelations regarding this disease’s source, spread and treatment. If you Google “Swine Flu” you’ll get 200,000,000 hits.

A piece which I like – Sterling Silver Star Pendant Necklace. Our theme at my elementary school which I work at is STARS. How perfect! Thanks for this chance.
After visiting The Age of Autism and being informed that direct and indirect costs of supporting an Autism Spectrum Disorder child run between $70,000 and $175,000 per year, now I am so depressed…
Maybe it’s partly that it’s a different color, but that Green Wire Cat Bookmark is really nice!
I was actually surprised by a recent study in the UK implying that, instead of the currently quoted statistic of “1 in 150 children is being diagnosed with ASD” (which apparently comes from numbers gathered back in 2000-2002), the numbers are now much closer to 1 in 60 boys and girls (with boys, at a higher rate, approaching 1 in 38 boys)… At what point does this become CRITICAL??
These are so artful! I love the Guitar Bookmark in Silver Plated Wire. Thanks! theprophecygirl at hotmail dot com
