Autism


This is something near to my heart, I have an Autistic son.

AUTISM RESEARCH FUNDING DRIVE



Please view this video and send to everyone you know. The band, Five for Fighting, is generously donating $0.49 to Autism Speaks for *each time* the video is viewed. The funding goes toward research studies to help find a cure. ...every little bit will help....When you have moment, please visit the link below to watch the video and pass it along to your friends and family. They are aiming for 10,000 hits, but hopefully we can help them to surpass this goal!!.


My friends just emailed this to me....keep it going....

Thats Great!
I mean the song and donations. Just sent the link to every one I know.
My son was born 10 weeks early and weighed only 2lbs 5oz. They told us he may be autistic, but he isn't.

I'm glad your son is ok, that must have been scary.
My son will be 15 next month. I think he was near the beginning of the Autism epidemic. The doctors failed to recognize the problem early enough " they all develop at different rates" He didn't get any help until he was almost 4.

I think Indiana has got much better about addressing "devlopmental issues" much earlier.

Seem like thats the way it always go when it come to insurance companies, They don't like to pay out, I remember when Shelby needed Hearing Aids the insurance never helped to cover the cost

Thanks for Sharing that
