World Autism Awareness Day

Today, April 2nd, is World Autism Awareness Day

I think the best thing I can do today is to direct you to These Are the Days, Linda's blog. She and Tom are raising a beautiful little boy, Connor. His progress has been so wonderful!

Please visit them at: http://snoopmurph.blogspot.com/2009/04/world-autism-awareness-day.html

When you see Connor's sweet smile, it will put a smile on your face too.


There are more beautiful children with autism to be seen on Casdok's blog, Faces of Autism. See for yourself. I think too many of us think of people with autism as somehow different. They are just like our children. They need and deserve to be accepted, admired and loved, just like our children.

Thanks, Bobbie, I have posted the Autism button on my blog. Hopefully, if enough us do this we can help raise awareness. Thanks for the other links as well!

There is a coverage in the papers here about Autism at the moment.
It focuses on a true story about an autistic boy and an event which drew him out,namely a horse which befriended him.
A book is being written called Boy on a Horse.
Awareness day is noted Bobbie.
