A Call To Arms: Autism Awareness Week...

There's some good dialog going on around Tony Alva's blogroll with regard to autism. My good friend and esteemed blogging colleague Hue B. Mooksuki is the father of a young autistic boy. In addition to Hue being one of the funniest guys I've ever had the pleasure of knowing, he is walking encyclopedia when it comes to this affliction. After reading many of his insightful posts on this topic you get the impression that getting informed and staying on the forefront of this disease not only helps him better address the issues his family faces raising their son, but I can only imagine it also helps him stay focused on what really matters vs. getting sucked into the world of magical cures, hysterical speculations, etc… that must run rampant in these circles.

In the past two years I have learned an awful lot about autism and the children afflicted with it. As Hue will say, there is a good chance every one of you knows someone who has a child with autism. How true. I’ve also come to understand the power of awareness and what that really means. So check it out and get dialed in. Read Hue’s blog, check it out on Chrispy’s, or Dave's. Read the comments too. This is what Hue and other families want to see this month, people talking about autism. If you have any questions, shoot Hue an e-mail or post a comment. I'm sure he'd be happy to share what he knows with you, and by all means keep reading...
