Hey Kah Ying, i read your article on how u taught ur son a alternative method of learning for austistic children! It was very helpful in my Final Year Project. I'm Leona Chong From Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. Please visit my Graduation Show from 22apr-30apr in Nafa Gallery 1&2. I did a Graphic Design Campaign for an Autism Event. I've also collected your older TODAY Articles and The Straits Times too for my research. If not for your articles, i wouldn't have been able to portray the Autistic child the way i did in my campaign. I'll support your book by coming down during your event at NLB! =) Thanks very much. Hope Sebastien improves over time under your guidance
You've done a great job. and I share the same belief that every autistic child deserves a rightful education and not be shunned by the rest of the public.

Hi Leona:
Thank you for your comments. I will certainly put you down on my RSVP list. I will also be very excited to see your project at the nafa Gallery. Maybe we can plan to meet there and you can tell me about your work.

Dear Kah Ying
I came across your newspaper article about you and your little boy. I am quite interested to obtain a copy of your book though I could not attend your book launch at the National Library today. I have a 5 year old boy who was diagnosed having mild autism two years ago. Is it possible for me to send a cheque payment including postage to you so that you can make arrangement to mail the book to my residence? Await your early reply. My email address is meiyun@inbox.com. Take lots of care. Kind regards, Lorraine
