Autism asks, "What kind of World do YOU want?"

I posted a blog a while back akin to this.
http://www.whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com/videos/view/id/408214

I am asking, again, for anyone out there to click and watch this video on autism. My nephew, Ryan, is one of the children that you can learn about in the video. My heart breaks as my sister and brother-in-law try to get through a day at a time with their son. No one can really imagine their pain and patience unless we all had a child that could not communicate his basic needs with us.

Evidently the lead singer of Five for Fighting has an autistic brother. And his band will donate 40cents to research every time this video is viewed.

Please don't skip over this blog because you do not (have to) relate to it. Consider it your duty in compassion and helping those so desperately in need. These kids can't speak. But I can. Help out. I thank you for it..

Autism Activists

If you know me or have read my blog at all you understand that one of my beautiful nephews is autistic. Sadly, we still have a long way to go to understanding the illness and its causes. And much money and research is needed for a breakthrough. Having said that, the pop group Five for Fighting is donating 49 cents to Autism Speaks every time someone watches the video to one of their songs submitted by a family with 2 brothers with autism. It is simply just a photo gallery: but its sweetness and warmth made me cry. I wish our little Ryan had a big brother that was so protective and good to him. But he is well loved by our huge extended family. Gracias a Dios. Please watch and pass along so that money may be donated. Thank you and thanks to the band for the donation.

Brain Man

In my large family we are blessed with my beautiful nephew, Ryan, who is autistic. It remains a wonder exactly how his brain processes information in his young little head. He is greatly loved and my brother, Gabriel, found this inspiring link to show that some autistics, indeed, are geniuses or immensely talented in music. With God's grace Ryan will continue to learn more and more how to communicate and grow in this world.

Meet Daniel Tammet, a 27 year-old math and memory wizard. He can do things with numbers that will truly amaze you. He is a savant. . . with a difference. Unlike most savants, he shows no obvious mental disability, and most importantly, he can describe his own thought process. Join correspondent Morley Safer as he explores the extraordinary life and mind of Daniel Tammet.
