Autism Speaks video-Beautiful!

May 6, 2007

Hello, I have

been a memember for about a little over a year. My son has apraxia,

he has always made sounds and even spoke but babbled mostly. My

speech therapist also helps children with Autism as well as children

and adults with all sort of issues. I wanted to share this with all

of you because going thru all of this with my son has taught me to

respect so many other parents and have a new found respect for the

children that try so hard to be heard and have a voice in this world.

I have learned so much from so many of you, more than you will ever

know, I communicate with my son mainly due to the understanding that

many of the parents have taught me. I cry a lot, but not from sadness

but from the joy I have now from connecting with my son and even

watching his frustration in trying to get thru to me. Check out the

video below. Enjoy!

Some wonderful people have made a video that will help raise money for

Autism Speaks. Whenever someone watches the video, 49 cents will be

donated

to the organization. The link is at the bottom of the page. The

video is

very moving and inspiring. It's beautiful to watch. Please take the

few

minutes required to view the video. Please watch it so we can

continue

raising money to help research this disorder. Thanks.
