Yes I used the autism awareness ribbon I'm sorry. If it offends some people but I personally love the ribbon I think It is beautiful. Also any suggestions for new ones?

I have an idea. How about doing one about autism service dogs. Your tagline says autism service dogs are heroes and you have all these good pictures of dogs. It would be fitting to do a poster that tells people what an autism service dog is and introduces them to the concept.

That is a great Idea thanks!

Nice work!

You have some spelling and grammar errors. I don't normally point these out 'cause I'm not a grammar Nazi, but for stuff like this it matters. Do you have someone to proof read your copy? I'll bet there are some excellent ones right here at WP.

Yeah I need help in that area.woo have pat go overthem for me this week to edit them. I think when I make enough I will be making it into a book and seeing if I can get it publoshed

I was spreading awareness with my bearded dragon without even being aware of it.

Nice idea to get the word out. I second WaveFreak's input about the mis-spellings & gramatical errors. They stand out like a sore thumb. Please correct them before having this printed.

I don't have a service dog per se, but my adopted rescue dog has rescued me in return. He keeps me going day by day, even on the really tough ones. He had a rough life early on, & knows what it's like to be abused & mistreated. These days, he's quite spoiled. Even the other dogs in our neighborhood are jealous. Especially those living next door.

They look nice ^^.

I could suggest instead of making a book of posters, why not publish them in lighter formats? Make them up for distribution on the internet in particular. Print them on T-Shirts, put them on on big glossy 2ftx11inch posters and hand them out. Make Magnets out of them for refridgerators (Though these have fallen out of favor in recent years, but you could make bigger ones and put them on any vehicles you use for the purposes of training said dogs, since I saw a vehicle in the pictures you used).

The reason I point this out is that, a book is going to be expensive. Both to you and probably anyone looking to buy it. And as beautiful as those posters are (and any future ones), I honestly can't see people spending much for a book of Autism Awareness pictures. But a few quarters for a Poster they might be able to hang in their business because their kid has autism might do really well. T-shirts you could sell or give away that people could wear is another avenue. These will still cost money to produce, but the initial cost will be alot smaller, as will the cost to sell them if you decide to try to pay for the production costs by selling rather then giving away, and it'll give people a chance to show others in a more direct way rather then trying to "Recommend a book".

That said, if you were going to write a book about your experiences, that might do really well. I wouldn't know about that as Im not a book publisher, but a text based book would do alot better then a picture driven one, in my opinion anyway.

Hope that helps, and Keep up the awesome work on the great pictures!

It's not my favorite, but I don't see why it would be a problem - it's your choice.

I think the autism ribbon needs to be black and white cause many of us are such black and white thinkers

That would be cool I like the colors myself to show the spectrum needs more variety in colors though

Can I use kittens instead?

Of course I dont have kittens I have a cat but she hate the caera and is very shy

That puppy is adorable!

And actually, I didn't know about wandering/drowning risks. It makes sense when I think about it though, since I've nearly drowned about four or five times as a kid falling into different bodies of water... eerie really.

Thank you for making me aware!

I love this one! Good imagery.
