World Autism Awareness Day

Thanks for the info. I can't wait to see you vacation scrapping in your "premade" book! Erin :)

CNN has a special program offered several times today -

I just posted on my blog about this as well and how it has changed our lives.

Thanks for helping to spread the word, Ali!

Thinking of you guys today.
Remembering the AWESOME time here on this blog during the six degrees fundraiser...
...and the victory for Autism speaks!!!
Awareness is Good.

I blogged about Autism Awareness Month today, though I didn't realize it was actually Autism Awareness Day. I linked to your blog and your page of autism links in my blog post...your blog has been a wonderful resource for me in the past, and your willingness to share your experiences is always encouraging. I'm sure it is for others as well. Thanks!

Lovely blog!

Thanks for the Austism Speaks link; it nudged me to make some phone calls I've been dreading. It's been suggested that my son might have Aspergers or some other autism spectrum disorder. I am probably in denial; but I finally made some phone calls and an appointment to get the diagnosis process going. Thank you, I love your blog and your book, and your photos and layouts. You rock!

As I was watching news coverage today on Autism Awareness, I thought about you and how you are always sharing Simon's story. I can only imagine the families that will seek out help today based on the news coverage. Thank you for being so open with your journey.

So interesting to find out it's Autism Awareness month (and day) since we are currently in the process of evaluating our 3 yr old son for Autism.

Hi Ali,
I was aware that it was World Autisim Awareness Day. My son does not have Autism but does have Hemophilia. You have inspired me to be more open about my son's condition and to freely talk about it in my scrapbook pages. I wish you the best with your son. You are very lucky that Autism has received so much attention and hopefully research will help find the reasons why these wonderfully little children get such a difficult condition. My only wish is that some day Hemophilia will get some more attention. We are both very blessed to have such wonderful boys in our lives. Again - thanks for the continued inspiration.

Thanks Ali for bringing autism to those that don't live it in a very simple way, as a mother of an autistic child i know that you go through a lot more than you post and i just wanted you to know that you are not alone and i am sending you a big hug from NYC

Saw a great bumper sticker.
"It's not Autism, it's Awe-tism"

I saw Ian Rogerson on TV this morning, his wife and son were in that article I sent you late last year. There is a website you might like to look at http://www.1000hours.com.au/ which is about the kind of intervention and work needed to diagnose and manage autism.

I learned about this just last night. I think it's sad that it wasn't more publicly announced. There was no mention of it here in Ottawa Canada. I had no idea and my son has autism.
The world needs to know more about it. It should be talked about more than it is.
Thanks for sharing this info Ali!

Thought of you all day today. I know what it is like to worry about your child's health and their future if you are not around. You always worry about your children, but when they have special needs, it is alot more to deal with than people know or understand. God Bless.

Hey Ali - have you seen this? Autism Speaks put out a pdf for the first 100 days after a dx - I'm so happy they put this together, because as you know, it's a whirlwind after the dx. Please send out to anyone you know who may need to see this:

Have a beautiful day!
