Autism: The Musical premieres tonight
Has it really been 5 months since I posted last?!?! I guess time flies when you're doing shit.
Autism Speaks screened Autism: The Musical at our annual Leadership Conference earlier this month and it was pretty good. I started working at AS without having a personal connection to Autism. Over the last year, I've learned a lot by working to support the organization, my co-workers and the families affected by this disease. This movie, however, gave me a frame of reference in which I could develop that personal connection with Autism I was missing. Check it out on HBO starting tonight. It's not only informative, it's a good documentary.

Matt-
I just came across your blog today and I want to say THANK YOU for pitching in for support of autism research and awareness. I have 3 children - our younger 2 are autistic - and although my husband makes just enough money to make our bills ($60,000 a year for our family of 5) according to ALL the funding sources out there we make TOO MUCH money to qualify for any form of funding for our children to receive therapy other than what they get at school. We are NOT alone in this situation, and it can be a long LONELY road for families dealing with autism. However, when we see support for organizations like Autism Speaks from those with celebrity status like yourself, it is a HUGE encouragement to us!
THANKS - from all 5 of us!!!
