Carmen B Pingree

What a fabulous day! I was able to meet on of my heroes, Carmen B Pingree, founder of the Carmen B Pingree Center for Children with Autism. She is a woman with decades of experience and has been instrumental in improving the lives for those who have autism and their families. She has a copy of my book, Autism: Understanding the Puzzle, and began reading it right away. She told me later, "This is a Great Book." Here her say that made my day! She was really sweet and complimented me in my role as a mother. Our conversation today inspired me to keep going as a mother and advocate. I hope this book continues to reach others, be a guide, bring about hope, and educate others.
