I am shocked an appalled at some of your answers toward Firebird. She is suffering and all you can do is attack her. I guess you don't have much else to do but attack a person when they are down.

My daughter, Firebird is in Toastmasters and she is autistic. The Toastmasters group that she is part of are wonderful. They are so supportive and encouraging. I have heard that this is true at all of the Toastmaster groups. They offer good advice and really help her make her speeches better.

I happen to be Firebird's mom and she is an incredible speaker. Yes she is autistic and yes she also happens to have schizophrenia. During her last speech at the Capital for the autism rally she was interrupted several times due to applause. Even though her speech was only around 3 minutes long she ...
