Redefining Autism

so i have designed a t-shirt for the Autism Awareness Run in LR on April 18th...

it's very simple, and i am hoping that the people i am wanting to use can breathe life into the idea! i am really excited about it...i'll "unveil" the final product...who knows...maybe i can get an extra one and actually do a give-away!!??

so my book is called: A Child's Journey Out of Autism....by Leeann Whiffen

i like it...it's a very good look at what families go through...i don't identify with Leeann nearly as much as i did Jenny McCarthy...BUT...for those of you who tend to keep things in and not show emotion...she's the mom for you...

i will leave you with this "video" of her son...it took my breath away...beware...it's very REAL...ok so i cannot figure out how to make the you tube video come up...here is the link...please follow...it's less than 2 minutes!

Got it, thanks. That's so cool to see someone who has come out the other side.
