Hello, my name is Rhonda Back, and I started ASSURE to help families like mine, and bring awareness to Asperger’s Syndrome. I want
families, and those who have Asperger’s Syndrome to come together to support one another. I have felt like the only mother in the
world who has a child with Asperger’s Syndrome, and I know that is not true. I want this group to meet to share ideas, provide comforting
support, and information to help families. I also want to make more Virginians aware of Asperger’s Syndrome, and bring a better understanding
of how it affects those who have it. In the past, people have given me a bewildered look when I told them what my son had, and I know
now that it’s my responsibility to change that. I owe that much to my son as his parent, and I owe it to my community. I hope that
all of you will consider coming to a meeting, and share with all around you about how blessed we are to have those incredible people
in our lives. Take care, and remember….
“Every child can be reached; you just have to stretch far enough.”
