THIS BEARS REPEATING!

This is a post from the Autism Speaks Forum that I think provides information and suggests ways to get the word out about Autsim Month:

"Spread the word: Chevrolet has teamed up with Autism Speaks to drive home the message of autism awareness. During April – Autism Awareness Month – visitors to the Autism Speaks website (www.autismspeaks.org), can click on the “Help Chevy Help Autism” icon and take a virtual test drive of the 2008 North American Car of the Year – the all-new Chevy Malibu. Chevrolet has committed to a minimum contribution of $500,000, but every virtual test drive taken gets Chevrolet closer to its goal of donating up to $1 million to Autism Speaks to support its mission of increasing awareness of autism and raising money to fund autism research. Those who complete the virtual test drive will receive a free 30-day online trial of XM Satellite Radio. Read more and visit the Autism Speaks home page to take the virtual test drive.

QUICK AND EASY WAYS TO SPREAD THE WORD:
1. Add the link to your e-mail signature.
2. E-mail everyone in your address book about the promotion and encourage them to do the same.
3. Post it on your MySpace/Facebook page.
4. Post it on your blog, and encourage those who have blogs to do the same.

We need as many people as possible to view the video PRIOR to April 30. Please watch the video and spread the word."

A JOURNEY TO BLUE EYES!

I've been on a journey tonight collecting resources. What a journey, I have been to a good many web sites and forums that offer support for Autism. I am collecting information that may be repetitive with other sites but I just want to cover as many bases as I can.

Video on Autism "What Kind of World Do you want."
You’re not alone.
These are two beautiful twin boys and it tells the story of how the parents learned about Autism in one of the boys.

This is an awesome Forum with lots of available resources also. There is a promotion going on with Chevrolet. If you test drive a Malibu they will donate to the cause. I'll give you their info because it has the links already embedded:
