Here we go : www.SixDegrees.org
Tags:Many of you have sent me emails and left comments wondering how you can help in getting the word out about autism and fundraising. This morning I received an email from Stephaine (thank you) who let me know about a new social network set up by Kevin Bacon (yep, the Kevin Bacon) called www.SixDegrees.org in partnership with Network for Good.
Here's the basics:
Over on the right side of my blog you will see my badge to raise money for Autism Speaks. I really think that we could get enough donations to receive a matching grant. Here is your chance to make a difference.
And, thank you.

hi ali,
congrats on yet another way to bring awareness to autism!
i wanted to ask about the statistic too, don't think you meant 1 in 4 boys, as from what i've read (thanks to you) it is diagnosed more often in boys.
i just know you would want to have the correct information on your badge! (and i might be wrong)
thanks for all of the inspiration!

Thank you so much for bringing so much light to this cause. I am a pre-school teacher. I find so many parents don't know anything about autism until their child is diagnosed. It really sounds like Simon is doing great. You do sucn a wonderful job being his mommy!
I added a St. Jude badge to my blog. Thanks for this wonderful resource.

Hi Ali,
Is it also possible to make a badge and raise money for Dutch organisations?

Hi Ali.. I've added your badge to my blog, as well as put some information and links on there. I want to make sure, though, that by adding your badge, that any donations received from my blog will be matched... correct? Will they be counted with your donations??
Thank you for being such an inspiration...

LOVE LOVE LOVE the badge! I'm going to get one of my own for autism speaks. Thank you for being such a vocal advocate.
My (almost) three-year old spoke a full sentence this week. Great stuff. So nice to see the therapy working!
