am i a sap?
seriously… i saw a commercial on vh1classic… an autism public service announcement. you can watch it here if you’d like. it brought tears to my eyes. maybe it’s because my son is among the 1 in 166. i don’t know. i must also admit that seeing so many musicians that i have always loved, respected, admired, etc taking a stand on the issue is very moving as well. maybe that’s what it was. seeing dee snyder, sebastain bach, gene simmons, joe perry, stephen tyler, rob halford and a few others express support/concern for the condition… i don’t know. these guys were among my heroes when i was a kid… now, in a sense they’re champions for MY kid.
while we’re on the subject of autism… i saw a thing on the view today about autism… there was a kid who had essentially “recovered” from autism thru a program called applied behavior analysis. it put a lot of maybes in my head. it might be worth looking into.
they also had a parent on mentioning that everyone in the US has a legal right to treatment for autism, no matter what the cost or their financial situation. which is good to know.
interesting things to make note of.
