A very close friend of ours has recently learned that their ~3 year old son likely has autism. It's a very difficult / painful thing for any parent to deal with, as you can imagine.
I've just been alerted that Autism Speaks, the Ad Council's sponsoring organization for the Autism Awareness campaign created a music video of the Five for Fighting song, "World", which features images of autistic children and their families. The band is generously donating $0.49 to Autism Speaks for each time the video is viewed and the winning charity will receive a special prize (there are several others on the site). When you have a moment, please visit the link below to watch the video and pass it along to your friends and family. They are aiming for 10,000 hits, but hopefully we can help them to surpass this goal.

May God bless all of the little ones out there with autism...and all of the families too! Please either send folks a copy of the link to this posting, or cut and paste the info from above and send it to your friends! Share this!

Thanks for posting this, Dan.
Nice.
I have several friends who have children with autism.
Went to a workshop last year ... to help one of my students with a high-functioning form of it.
It's definitely a challenge ... will pray for your friends today.
