Hey there Sheri! Your new job sounds challenging and rewarding at the same time. You will gain a lot of experience I'm sure from this. You have to be a special kind of person to deal with children like that. I have a good friend who teaches "challenged" kids and she loves it.
Autistic children are tough but I bet like you said, they each have their own personality and you will learn from that. Can I just tell you that "Rainman" is one of my FAVORITE movies.

About girlfriends...you are so right about having to hang with them instead of guys. When I was growing up I had many "guy" friends. Which was fine. I didn't have to deal with petty girl stuff hanging with guys but then as I grew older I realized that I had made my (now hubby)my best and only friend and that was not good for us at the time. I had no really good girlfriends at age 21. It hurt our relationship and we broke up. I then started to do things with all the friends that I had snubbed because I had a "boyfriend" and boy did I have fun! It taught me a lot. I have like 3 really good girlfriend right now and they will always be my friends no matter how often we don't get together we can still remain friends.

Glad to see ya popping in! keep us posted.
