Hey folks...
Quick little update here, but I wanted to point out something I found online tonight.
I found this tonight when I went searching for random family members on Twitter (seriously) and this site happened to pop up when I looked up my favorite cousin's husband's name. I won't go into the whole history here, but they do have one child who is autistic. The site was founded as a way to help others who have children with autism come together and work together to help manage this condition in their children. Frankly, I think this is probably one of the coolest sites I've ever seen. Of course, part of that is because I happen to have a somewhat direct-ish relation to one of the owners. The other part is that it's just an incredible site.
There's so many ways to help support the site (they do have a store and you can bet that I'll be dropping some cash there soon enough), but the best thing you can do is tell people.
If you have a child with autism.
If you don't.
If you have a child.
If you don't.
If you know someone with autism, or who has a child with autism.
If you don't.
Please get the word out. Just tell 5 of your friends and encourage those friends to tell 5 of their friends. I cannot stress how important this is, especially as I'm step-father to a child who is ADD, so I understand how things can get difficult at times and how having a good support network is so critical. So tell people. Tweet it, Jaiku it, StumblTumblMyFriendRSSBook it, just let people know.
Thanks much. :)
Oh and Hi Kent!!
