Orange You Glad It's April?

By Kim Stagliano

Yesterday, I wrote a piece for The Washington Post that took off pretty quickly. It was trending #3 on Google last night for autism. (Below is an excerpt and link.) What I really want to share with you are some of the emails and messages I received throughout the day. The WaPo comment thread ranges from agreement with to anger at me. That's fine. The personal messages are what matter to me, not anonymous rantings. I try to respond to each email, (even the negative ones!) By the way, I had a terrific editor who worked with this article, and she created the title she thought would work best for WaPo. I would not have said I despise the month, but the headline stands and certainly got attention, which is what a good headline should do.

Her novel, House of Cards; A Kat Cavicchio romantic suspense is available from Amazon in all e-formats now.

My point isn't that I like her essay, I don't.

1. As a parent of a child with autism,

Kim Stagliano is a fucking idiot.

Fuck her, and fuck everything she says.
