this is so amazing - i check the badge everyday and i am so touched by the generosity of those around you, Ali.

Go Ali! Watching the total go up is so inspiring!

YAY! YAY! YAY!
I made a donation!!!!!
I am so thrilled to be part of this!!!!!!!!!!

I was just reading your article in the last issue of CK, and I thought, "wow, Simon sounds a lot like Daniel (my son)" Daniel was diagnosed with Autism 2 years ago. A friend just directed me to your site today and I made a donation...it's so great to be able to contribute. I think what you are doing is so amazing, and I know that parents of children with autism everywhere are very, very grateful!

Unbelieveable how this is turning out. Never underestimate the goodness of people!

So very exciting!! So glad to be able to contribute! I've added the badge to my blog today :)

Paypal from Canada... on it's way!
Hugs to the Edwards and Friends!!!
Blessings on you

Donation made from Québec, Canada using paypal. It is OK!

Once again .. this is awesome news! What must Kevin be thinking about 6 degrees now? .. His initial effort challenged so many ... and look what just one of the Badges has accomplished in such a short time! ... You'll be getting that extra 10K from him very very soon!

Ali, I am an elementary principal in GA and we have 2 classrooms specifically set up for autistic children! I love them!! In support of "your cause" :) I sent an email to our entire staff about the 6 degrees badge and the need to consider making a donation. Hopefully, you'll receive some more donations from them - I have a staff of 200! Good luck!

WOO HOO! This is so cool!

super amazing accomplishment! way to go!

What is happening here is totally awesome--GO TEAM GO!!

too cool for words!

You got me. This whole time I have been sitting here feeling like I am already donating my very soul as a gen ed teacher with two autistic kids in my class of 28 (with no aide). The "I am....." book felt like such a gift, and I would have paid for that class list. As I was linking a friend I felt like I should pay you for it, so I made a donation to your badge in Simon's name. Thanks for the work you are doing so that we can know more about autism and teacher like me aren't groping around in the dark trying to find help for our kiddos.

Great job, Ali. Go team go! I FINALLY made a donation today. :-)

Thank you for being such an inspiration to us all! You are the BEST!!!
