My friend, Tamar, has an absolutely wonderful essay up on the prestigious website, Autism Speaks. If you or anyone you know is affected by autism, I think you'll really appreciate her essay and the helpful information available via her efforts in her blog, Hidden Laughter, which chronicles their very successful trip in helping their son after his diagnosis (all the way through mainstreaming him in school); there's a great deal of information on the Autism Speaks site itself. Please pass along these links to anyone you know who'd benefit!

Anyway, I have a friend with two autistic children and that essay was so descriptive of the pain my friend has gone through and the message that there is hope.
