I have not watched an episode of  The Good Doctor. It doesn’t seem realistic to me and I  just do not have any interest.

Atypical is another that many have enjoyed watching,  yet, I cannot. I am not sure why, I find myself  immediately feeling like it won’t be similar to the life we live- therefore it won’t be relatable and fear I will resent it all.  Does anyone else relate to this ?

Positive Vibe Café was founded in 2002 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization by the Positive Vibe Foundation (formerly the Get Lost MD Foundation). Unchanged today, the Foundation and Café provide hands-on training and meaningful employment in food services to individuals with physical and developmental disabilities. While we have had some changes, and the cafe will be under new ownership (Natalie’s Taste of Lebanon), we will still stand firm in our commitment to serving our community.

CAMP FREE2BME

The Summer of a Lifetime for Young Adults With Autism (And So Much More)

Great friends, exciting activities, and an atmosphere that lets our young people be themselves are just three of the reasons why camp is so much fun! Research has shown that camp offers the kinds of experiences that are critical to adolescents eventually becoming successful, productive adults.
​Camp Free2BMe is a unique summer day camp offering social skills programming combined with recreational opportunities to children and young adults ages 13 and up. Each week is focused on a specific skill and is learned through outings, art, music, themed activities, individual and group projects. We practice skills out in the community three to four days per week. RAIN uses an evidence based peer to peer model in all of our programs. Peer to peer support programs and inclusion of students with ASD not only contributes to positive outcomes for the campers with ASD, but can also impact a number of outcomes for peers.
