Educate, Educate, Educate
I can not say enough about education.
It is so important to learn new things.
At the beginning of last month a lady called me and wanted to do a segment on my family for regional tv.
I agreed and she came out and spent a couple of hours at my house interviewing me and filming the children.
The five minute human interest segment turned into a three night mini series.
Rachel and John were fascinated to see themselves on television.
Kathleen was a wee bit overwhelmed and sat on the stairs and twirled her hair.
I received some positive comments from different people in the community.
It was a little awkward being on tv and I wasn't sure about doing it as you know how judgemental people can be, but, as my good friend Bobbie says. "you can never give up. People have to know"
So, I continue.......
In the 90's, Autism increased by 172%
It is the largest childhood affliction now.
Currently it is increasing at a rate of 10-17%.
Way too many.
Where is the funding for research??
