Autism on The View.

Right now I am watching The View. Normally I don't watch TV during the day but some kind people sent me emails letting me know that todays topic is autism.

As many of you know, this is a super emotional issue for me and watching is stirring up all those emotions. Listening to Toni Braxton talk about her son being diagnosed was like listening to myself tell the story of our journey. This is such a good thing they are doing - talking about it, bringing it even more out in the open. I just know there are parents out there watching today who are being introduced for the first time, who now may be questioning their own child's behavior, who may be crying as they watch. My heart goes out to those parents. And in the same moment I am excited for them that they may be able to help their children find their own special place in the world.

These kids are so, so amazing.
