Thank you HG! And huge thank you to everyone who has already donated. SO MANY smiley faces and heart emojis.

The video is adorable, and thank you for the nudge to donate. I kept meaning to and forgetting.

This is relevant to my interests. My son is not deaf, but is autistic with limited speech. We're starting to explore ASL as an alternative communication mode. But honestly I have no idea where to start. He has a speech therapist who signs reasonably fluently, but the rest of the family needs to learn too! If E. Messily has suggestions on resources for this, it would be so helpful.

There's obviously more background--we're adrift in part because most of the professionals he sees seem not think he needs anything other than speech therapy for verbal speech--but I'm not going to bore folks with that whole saga.

Yay Ydnew, and thank you! and EJS, I put my email under my pseud here- send me a message. The details will depend on where you are, your son's age, and what your current setup re: insurance/services is, but I can probably help hook you up with the right people and/or provide some advice, if not more.

Thanks - I'll email tomorrow.

Thank you guys so much, again! I'm very amazed and touched by how many donations have been rolling in. You're the best.

Oh good, I'm so glad to hear it!
