Look how fast we've changed our minds! So much for the rule against multi-tasking: I (who manage Dave's daily planner and schedule) will just have to make sure I keep good enough records to avoid his missing deadlines. The transcripts are the troublemakers. It can take former colleges so long to process the transcript request that the student misses the deadline for submitting them. And Dave can't upload the transcripts until he officially starts the online apps, so, here we go...keeping track of more than one app at a time.
Thanks for reading...

Graduate School Applications
The Autism Spectrum ranges from "Level 1" (requiring some support) through "Level 3" (requiring very substantial support). My son, David M. Nisson, PhD, is at "Level 2" (requiring substantial support). He dreamed of earning college degrees in Experimental Physics, but only wealthy "Twice Exceptional" students could afford this. It's against my religious values to ignore "Talents", so, with my support, David went on to complete a Ph.D. at UC Davis Physics and contribute to the all-important world of scientific research. This blog serves both as a reference for the increasing numbers of parents following in my footsteps, and a warning that in addition to advocating for academic accommodations and arranging behavior programs, parents must also spend time studying medical issues that seem minor during childhood, and to
participate now in the reform efforts of crucial national agencies like SSA and HUD, and those of your city, county and state government to protect your sons' or daughters' futures.
