Autism Awareness

This is copied from an email I received. A friend also checked it out on snopes before forwarding. The cause is a great one and the video is touching. I'm sure you all realize that as a special education teacher I am witness daily to the struggles children with autism face. Early intervention is the key. Don't ever feel stupid brining up concerns with your child's pediatrician if they are failing to meet their developmental goals.

Dear Friends and Family,
The band "Five for Fighting", is generously donating $.49 to Autism Speaksfor **each time** this video is viewed. The funding goes toward researchto help find a cure and to advocate for early intervention. When you havea moment, please visit the link below to watch the video and pass it alongto your friends and family. I'm sure you will enjoy it. It's a beautifulvideo. They are aiming for 10,000 hits, but hopefully we can help them tosurpass this goal.
