Message to a Psychologist Who Made Logan's Initial Assessments

Dear Dr. F.,

I know I probably babbled at the appointment on Friday; I felt at the time like my tone was complaining or something.  I have been feeling really troubled lately, and so I was very eager for us to meet with you.  I'm sorry if I came across too desperate or upset.  I just did not want to forget to tell you something.

Thanks so much for meeting with our family.  I am reading through *Engaging Autism* and it's very helpful and reassuring.  I had skimmed parts of it before, but now I'm reading straight through, carefully.  

Amanda and I seem to waffle back and forth between hope and despair, taking turns being the one who comforts and the one who worries.  And then I feel silly because other people have so much bigger problems than this in life.

I heard today about a book from the 70s (?) called *The Hidden Child*, recommended by a teacher of special needs children in China.  Have you heard of it, and is it too outdated as far as theory/method -- or do you think it also might be worth a look?

Thanks for all your help.  I will do whatever it takes to help my little boy.  We look forward to our next meeting with you, and appreciate anything you are able to tell us.

Sincerely,
Jonathan
