April 2nd is World Autism Awareness Day
Posted: Apr 2, 2009
A year ago I heard the second most frightening words ever spoken to me in 39 years of my life. "You have cancer," the doctor told me somberly. "It's serious."
You may wonder what that has to do with World Autism Awareness Day. Which brings me to the scariest words I have ever heard. It was eight years ago, when I brought my beautiful baby girl to a neurologist to figure out why she had no speech and was unresponsive to her name. "Your daughter has autism," he told me.
