Can’t help but listen my six year old son Kordell is autistic. Autism speaks is a great website and I’m happy that celebrity parents like the Peetes are speaking out and sharing their experience with the disorder. On a much more brighter and blessed note Kordell said his first word last month “pop”. He was trying to tell his teacher that he wanted another poptart for his daily snack:) It’s slow going but my baby is getting there!

I am very proud to be on the mailing list for this organazation. My son is an adult so it doesn’t offer a whole lot for us; but I am so happy to see that it helps the younger ones so much. Thank goodness things are getting better for our children.
