I met with Dr. Yeung once to go over the main topics of the site. I got a jumpstart on ideas for the site and recieved many suggestions from him, including looking at the NTSA site to see what it lacked, and making it appeal to the audience at hand. I recieved informational materials from him including Tuberous Sclerosis Complex and Living With Tuberous Sclerosis. I also made e-mail contact with him several times for more information.

While I met with him, we looked at the TS Alliance site as mentioned above, and learned that there are few sources for people who are only slightly affected with Tuberous sclerosis, especially for my peers. I also found out about many more symptoms that come along with TSC. All in all, I found that even though I have barely scratched the surface, the professionals aren't too much deeper; much is to be found and no cures exist.

In making this site, many others associated with the TS alliance have also looked at it and have suggested that I continue to work on it after the Expo and especially want me to link to the TS Alliance site when I am ready.
