Umm... I just lots of books in the mail. And... There were two of the same; Women from another Planet? Our Lives in the Universe of Autism?

Of course at the end of the course when everybody knows you to some extent, that is when it would make a good part of the presentation. As in "see I have (AS) and this is how I have dealt with it in the time we have known each other.

Where I think it would have made a good part of your presentation is something like going through chemo for cancer. Because they would be seeing the physical effect on you.

Best Wishes
