Cliff

This will be a short post, as I'm approaching the event horizon of tiredness. But I did want to update that we have now officially moved out of Strausbourg. The past two days have been enjoyable, with the hosting being done by the Rotary Club of Wissembourg.

I had the opportunity to take part, along with the rest of the team, in a visit to a residential treatment facility for individuals with disabilities, including children diagnosed with Autism. It was good to see that much of what we do in the United States is similar to what is being done here. Also, it seems that the same increase in Autism Spectrum Disorders is being observed in this country as well. However, a large difference in the treatment and evaluation of children with Autsim-Spectrum disorders is the more comprehensive insurance coverage. Two days for a comprehensive evaluation! I'm lucky with two hours!

Anyway, before I engage in a monograph regarding the insurance situation in our home country, I'm going to log off. Tomorrow, we go to Haggenau. Allons-y!
