I am going to be writing a Halloween article on my site located here:

 http://autismspectrumdisorders.bellaonline.com

On the topic of Halloween. I am looking for blog posts (can be here or your personal blog) to share as resources for Halloween parties, school issues, costumes, recipes for candy or gfcf items relating to Halloween school parties, other paries or for handing out or giving to kids who are on  special diets.

 My kids are 12 and 13, not into this Holiday and I have one article on my site from three years ago.  I need something else there and am asking those in the autism community to share their stories and I can link them up.

 My one Halloween article - http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art34537.asp

If your blog has pics of the kid(s) in costumes and the food for handout or parties is good too.

I posted a similar request on my blog = http://autismfamiily.blogspot.com/2008/09/halloween-experiences.html

 This will be organized like this one for autism cards and ornaments, so I will have a listing of gfcf blogs, costumes and then parties. Hopefully I can get some responses, now doing some google searches to find some.  You can always post something now about a previous year as someone else did and linked at my blog.

 Thanks - hope I can get some experiences.  Feel free to commment with suggestions, etc.

Model Me Kids does the social skills DVDs.  I bought Conversation Cues and reviewed it on my site

 http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art54633.asp

They now have a Ning group - http://modelmekids.ning.com/

Description - Join Model Me Kids parents, teachers, and friends to share experiences about children with Autism Spectrum Disorders.

There were 97 members yesterday and they mentioned the site in their newsletter and I did a few posts about it on twitter as well. They have a widget I put on my site to promote them.

Hope to see some of you there as well. 

Main site - http://www.modelmekids.com

I also recommend their affiliate program for site owners and bloggers.  You make thru paypal $5.10 for each DVD sold from your referral.  I have a widget on my blog, and got a payment for August sales already.

I found a link on a blogspot last nite and that is how I found this site. This site seems similar to Ning groups - http://www.ning.com and I wanted to know if there are any widgets or icons that we can use on our personal blogs to promote this site and get others to join and participate.

Here is my blog with some widgets I advertise other sites so you know what I mean:

http://autismfamiily.blogspot.com

I did mention this last nite on www.twitter.com

Others can join and then promote this site and their blogs through twitter.  I am autismfamily on there as well.
