Rob Davies = My Hero

Image hosted by Photobucket.com Image hosted by Photobucket.com

My autistic son is obsessed with Atomic Betty. I really think it has to do with the red hair and go-go boots. Finding items for this show is very difficult and Cartoon Network is no help at all. We don't have cable/satellite/PPV etc., but my son saw the program in our hotel room over Christmas break. It has been hell ever since. I tried to get these certain Betty items for his birthday but I couldn't find them anywhere. So, resourceful me sent an email to Atomic Cartoons and asked where I could find this stuff. Well I was thinking that some customer service person would reply but Rob Davies (a co-creator of the show) wrote back. Not only did he reply promptly, he is sending me the items in the mail. I showed the email to my son and now I look like SUPER MOM. Yes! So, I have to give props to Rob Davies, my new hero because I have been saved from a summer of obsessive compulsive hell. Any of you that has dealt with autism can understand the magnitude of this gesture. Plus, now I have to take back everything bad I ever said about Canadians (except my ex-stepdad-I stand by my word there). So Rob Davies, of the Canadian company Atomic Cartoons, I salute you!

The man is surely a blessing to you! He's probably thrilled that 'someone' watches the show and you're thrilled that someone gives a rip about your son.

YAY!!!
