Attending the lecture that we gave was the mother of a 28 year old young man who has autism. She chairs the parent organization for parents of children with ASD in Serbia. I would have very much enjoyed talking to her parent organization and will try to do this, if invited, the next time I visit my daughter.
We also had in attendance three professionals who work in a day school program for children with autism, Vesna Srdanovic Halilovic, Psychologist, Natasha Dosevska, Psychologist; and Novka Grbic, Speech Therapist. I so wished that we had known that we would meet them all and we would have scheduled more time to hear news of what is working and what is difficult for them in that setting.
Now that I am back home, and my trip seems kind of a blur, I need time to think about all that we experienced in Serbia but I know that the few hours we spent at the University of Belgrade will stand out as an important memory. And I am going to see if I can figure out how to make Turkish Coffee.
