RE: Autism is EVERYWHERE!!

[Guest guest]

You will be seeing these ad council ads

all over for the next 3 years! In print, TV and on radio. Just as an FYI all

of the kids in these PSA’s have ASD! If these don’t help us get

into the mainstream, what will? Autism Speaks….It’s time to listen!

is EVERYWHERE!!

I was thumbing through the most recent

issue of People magazine this morning and saw a full page ad for Autism Speaks

- the picture of a beautiful young girl caught my eye - I had no idea it was an

AUTISM ad until I read it - very powerful!

Autism is EVERYWHERE!!

This month's Town and

Country has an article on autism. And...

September's Ladies Home Journal: Remember

the feature, " This Marriage Can Be Saved? "

Well, this month, it focuses on a

marriage that is troubled by the stress of parenting a child with

autism. Seems the parents disagree on how to handle all the issues. The

counselor had some ideas on how to help the communication between the husband

and wife.

Autism is now in the mainstream

literature on a regular basis.
