The Thomas Family

As we approach April you will start to see a lot of press about autism and awareness. April is Autism Awareness month. As you know our oldest son has Aspergers, which is a high functioning form of autism. I have been touched by my family, friends, and friends of family who have been learning more about autism. It is a huge support to us as a family. 1 in 150 children have autism. 1 in 96 are boys. Ian & I recently watched the HBO Special, Autism the Musical.. it's actually a documentary. If you want to know more without getting too much into someone's personal life, this is a great place to start.
