Those who know me well know that autism and its larger umbrella of Pervasive Developmental Disorder has been on my professional radar for many years. In the past seven years, this has become more personal to me as I have fallen in love with many children and their families impacted by this. These past several weeks at work has renewed my resolve to keep abreast of the research and find more ways to contribute.
This is pandemic. If the recent statistics bear out even for the next few years, if you don't know someone impacted by PDD/autism spectrum disorder right now - you soon will. Our children, our nieces, nephews, grandchildren - all at risk if we can't find something to give us a way to get at this thing.
The band, Five for Fighting, is generously donating $0.40 to Autism Speaks
for *each time* this video is viewed. The funding goes toward research
studies to help find a cure. When you have a moment, please visit the link
below to watch the video and pass it along to your friends and family.
They are aiming for 10,000 hits, but hopefully we can help them to surpass
this goal.
