Several years ago I sat amazed, excited and encouraged as I
watched Nicky and other children tackle acting class ASD style. I enjoyed a
special kinship with the other parents - who with me - were stepping out of the
recognized autism treatment box and I felt nothing but appreciation for Joey
Travolta and others who lead the program “Actors for Autism”. Sadly the program
Nick participated in shut down, but I knew Joey's dream would keep him going
and it did. Last week this article appeared in the entertainment section of the
LA Times. I'm so excited I just had to share and spread the word. Go
Joey!!!!

I am a single mom raising a son with autism. 21 years ago, I read "Autism: a permanent developmental disability requiring lifelong care for which there is no known cause or cure". In that moment my world shifted. Today more than 3.5 million readers have shared in our journey through this blog as I have detailed our 21-year journey of grief, joy, disappointments, successes, lessons, strategies, personal challenges, frustrations, fears all as they unfolded- day by day.
