I am getting the feeling that this topic has become a springboard for publicity for Holly and her fledgling acting career!

There could be truth to that, but at least autism is a worthy cause. At least she’s not stripping or doing something else negative to draw attention to herself.

Holly has been a great spokesperson for this cause. I admire her and her family. Don’t knock her for continuing to spread awareness to the public and garner needed funding and support. I think her son that has been impacted is such a handsome and wonderful kid. He has made many strides it appears and I hope he continues to do so. If I can get around to it I may purchase one of the books they have out to support them and the cause.

those comments are so ridiculous. the Peete family’s mission to educate people about autism has nothing to do with publicity. you people are so stupid! it is national autism awareness month! the Peete family advocates for autism awareness every month of the year and every day of the month! this family is so beautiful. it is wonderful to see a black family who is so positive and proactive! we can all learn from them. good parents do everything they can for their children. they should be commended for their efforts! i love them! anyone who has a negative comment about the Peete family needs a serious reality check. go to church people. if your child or someone in your family had autism, who would not think that this was a publicity stunt. just so stupid. have a Good Friday!

black doc..I agree you are absolutely correct. You have a blessed Easter weekend, too. My sister-in-law is Chief of Pediatrics at a Bay Area hospital and she and I both take children’s physical and emotional health very seriously. She’s a Black Doc, too.

I agree that they have been great advocates against this devastating disorder and the books are very touching and informative. I know that many people do things for publicity, but I don’t believe that’s the case with the Peetes.

I learned from the interview that puberty can cause autistic kids to regress in terms of their progress.Holly was a activist for Parkinson when her acting career was flourishing.She was on that show with 3 couples I can’t think of the name of it right now
