I am so sorry you feel that way. I believe that is what brings this board together. When I hear everyone talk or chit chat it brings CAH to life. The chit chat brings reality that there are days that it is not that bad. On this board I know I can come here and feel totally "normal" or I want to say comfortable. Before this board I had NO ONE to talk to like this. This board makes me feel like I am part of the world again. We need the support even if it is considered from one person to another as chit chat. That chit chat is what gets me through some rough days. I too have tried the chat room, but my time is limited to five minutes here or there. I understand your hunger for more information. You just want to help your child. The board goes through "dry times". It depends on the questions. Instead of trying to keep up with the board, perhaps you should take a day and read through the archives. I have done that. I have found lots of info. Or like I have been doing for my "hunger", I have went into the sites Danny has listed on the side of the page and found some on my own that I have recently listed. I have brought back my "findings" to this board. These sites would really help what you are looking for. I hope you still stick around. We need all the input we can get.
