World Autism Day


One in one hundred people has autism. Today is World Autism Awareness Day. Visit this link to find out more.
Before I started blogging my knowledge of autism was limited to Rain Man and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time. Now, having 'met' several mothers of autistic children, I hope my understanding is a tiny bit better.

  2. I know someone with autism, me. The difference between me and Rain Man is that he was good with numbers I am good with words.
