Standing Up

Politics.  One of the topics you never discuss without someone leaving the conversation hurt or angry.  However, I am writing this, not just because it's an election year, but because it's time to advocate for Autism.  We are blessed that we live in a state that has put some stepping stones in place for peoples with autism.  But what about the other 49 states? What are our politicians going to do about this rising epidemic? Do they have a plan?  In a time when the economy, jobs, foreign affairs, national debt and other (sometimes childish) topics take main stage in the debates, I feel that it might also be time to address the candidates about their plans for autism.  The following article tells the story of a mom, who's 10 year-old son has autism. He got to meet President Obama, and share his message one-on-one.
Ps. Kleenex is needed.
