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.
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!
Very informative website! Makes me want to get more involved!
