Today's the day. You might see blue ribbons flying; some TV channels have changed their logos blue.. You may be wondering why. It's Autism.
When my brother was diagnosed ('99-'00), the rate was 1 in 250 children.
Today? 1 in 50.
If you haven't been exposed to someone with Autism, don't know anyone with Autism or anyone with a child who has been diagnosed.. Count your blessings.
It's just one day, to a lot of people... But it's every day, for my brother.
It's the small things in life.. As simple as wearing a blue ribbon on a day like today, or not giving the next Special Needs person, the ugly eye, simply because you don't understand their differences.
We're all different; they just aren't scared to show it.
