My nephew has Aspergers.
(It's not deadly, in fact, it's not even really painful. But it is frustrating, and means he's gonna have to work harder at some things in life. By most standards, he's one of the lucky ones...)
Asperger Syndrome is on the Autism Spectrum. It presents a daily challenge for people with the condition and their families. A cure is a great goal, but for now we'd gladly settle for greater awareness.
The understanding, encouragement and acceptance of others means the world to an Aspie kid
Please join me in my efforts to support Walk Now for Autism Speaks!
Can you imagine hearing the words "your child has autism"? In a split second, life - as you know it - has changed. For a different family every 15 minutes, tomorrow will never be the same.
By participating in this event, we are helping to change the future for all who struggle with autism. By walking, we are getting one step closer to finding what causes autism, how to prevent and treat it, and ultimately a cure so no family ever hears those words again. Until then, we walk to find answers and raise awareness about the devastating toll that autism has had on families like ours.
I need you to help make tomorrow be about dance lessons, school lunches and first words rather than therapy, doctor appointments and despair. Together, we will find the missing pieces.
