Dear Kitty,

Im up late right now like you were many nights. (2:55 am in NYC) I miss our late night conversations. I knew If I ever needed someone to talk to late at night, you would be there for me to lend an ear and give me unconditional love and advice. 

I just listened to your speech at the 2003 KPI Symposium. It did two things to me, Put a smile on my face and made me cry. It was so nice to hear your voice again!

Kitty your are one of the most amazing women I've ever known. You have touched and helped so many people in life including myself. 

I love you and Miss you dearly!

Your Granddaughter,

Yasmine Nasim Petty ]]><![CDATA[Chelsea Lord]]>Thu, 07 Oct 2010 05:30:29 GMThttp://www.kpinst.org/feedbackblog/chelsea-lord

Hi, my name is Chelsea Jean Lord. Not sure if I fit the criteria but I have Asperger Syndrome (Mild autism which causes in my case lack of focus, overwhelmed and interinizling thing) and learning disorders (lack of focus,hyperactivity, impulsivity and writing is illegible).
I am going through a tough time emotionally and would like to talk to someone in similar situations or circumstances.

Is KPI still going . . . oh, I would love to hear that. I've been without information or contact with folks for a long time and have missed you all ajd the work so very much. I would love to hear from you and what has been happening since we lost your Mom. I found the KPI listing in the "Community Information Handbook 2009".

I hope you are well and thriving.

Much love as always,
-Candi

when I was first diagnosed with adhd & dyslexia. It spurred me on to think about ways
to create learning processes that will inhance the "abilities" inherent to add/adhd/ld
rather than attempting to mainstream and reorganize the add mind to operate as though
there is something wrong with it.I hope to go to school to attain credentials which will allow me to do just this.

Hi CB,

I am very glad to hear KPI was able to help you when you were first diagnosed with adhd & dyslexia. I so very much agree with you that add/adhd/ld mind thinks differently and different can often be a good thing. For just look at the Famous People with ADD/LD link on this web site.

I wish you all the best in pursuing your education in this field and the best with your endeavors.

Clint
