I remember on more than one occasion someone collecting names & phone numbers while on band trips - LOL. You are a fabulous person and I find it delightful to speak with you. I think your thoughts above about not wanting doctors or anyone to "fix" a part of what makes you who you are a very grown up way of looking at things. Keep up all the great work. You bring joy to everyone's life that you come in contact with. Tammy Cameron,

I loved your comments at the end about historical figures thought to have had Asperger's and connecting those thoughts to looking for a cure for autism then connecting those thoughts to what you mentioned earlier about Aspies in social settings. It's got me contemplating the evolution of our society since that time. I'm not sure I have a conclusion to all of these connected thoughts, but they are definitely connected to gospel principles. I'm glad you are who you are, and that you are continually growing. It has been fun to witness. Thanks for posting something that is so thought provoking. :) Cameron, you are an amazing person and I have enjoyed watching your growth (literally, how tall are you now?).

Congratulations on all your successes!! Being a mother of a daughter with developmental as well as physical disabilities, I know all to well what some people think of as normal vs not normal; you are an inspiration to me. As you continue to grow and share and teach others, I pray you are successful in all things. Never forget who you are, where you came from and those who helped you achieve...from what I read on your blg it appears you are already well aware of this. I look forward to following your blog. Maybe it will help me be what I need to be in the world of my daughter Kristen and her future needs! Monica Hi Cam! Congratulations on all your successes!!
