Spreading the word about a work camp opportunity this June (2014) in New Mexico. We're building a retreat center - to be all autistic built and run. It's called Ocate Cliffs, and the web site is ocateclifs dot org. Click on the workcamp link to see all the info about this.

It's a great way to meet other autistic types and get to know them a lot better than on line or formal meetings. Working side by side with people does that.

If youngest son is healthy enough in June, he so much wants to be a part of this. What a difference -particularly if it becomes a springboard for other projects- Ocate Cliffs will be for autistic people everywhere. I need to stay near my oncologist, but I am so excited for all of you who have this great opportunity to make a real positive difference in the world.
