They are talking about autism all day today! Insurance debates, stories of children, interventions, all kinds of good stuff!

I've been looking at it on and off. Thanks! It is Autism Awareness month afterall.

I have noticed before that CNN has been reporting about it more and more over the past few months.

That's great!

I have it on right now. My sister's MIL actually told my sister about it on Monday and told her to let me know. I love my sisters MIL!

Also lots of things on their website http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2008/news/autism/

Trey · 04-02-2008, 01:54 PM

I didn't know that today was Autism Day! I knew April is Autism Awareness month, but didn't know that. Thanks!!!

wb3690 · 04-02-2008, 02:00 PM

Yep today is the 1st World Autism Day!!

Sophie♥Hatter · 04-02-2008, 02:04 PM

The very first, although the reason for it is sad I am glad it is getting more attention. The more people can become aware that autism is not always the extreme view that has most often been shown by the media the better it is for those living with it everyday.

I agree. I just caught a segment on Good Morning America about the growing number of kids with autism who are now attending college and how colleges are having to design programs and such to help them out.

I had NEVER even thought about that. I had never thought that Sean might not be able to handle college.....I just figured when the time came we'd figure out the best way for him to get through college.

So many things come up that you just don't think about......
