There are three awards for both sides of the great divide of understanding. Parents, adult ASD's and professionals. The awards are given by me every year on May 23 (my birthday) and are indicated by three letters after the person's name on this website. I will also use it elsewhere on the Internet as appropriate. There will be a maximum of three awards given for each category per year.

GAP: Great ASD Parent; GAA: Great ASD Adult; GMP: Great Medical Professional

HAP: Horrid ASD Parent; HAA: Horrid ASD Adult; HMP: Horrid Medical Professional

Suggestions are allowed, but the final decision is mine. Naturally I'm not going to give myself an award!
