My family and I are signed up to walk for Autism in Houston TX on Oct 13, 2012. I am so excited about meeting other parents with kids on the Autism Spectrum. There are so many families out there that are affected by Autism, and Aspergers (ASD) Autism Spectrum Disorder. I just want to reach out to the community and get as much support as I can. Having your friends and families support is vital to families who have Autistic children. But it shouldn't stop there! I want to spread the word as far as I can to help the families of Autistic children. But I can't do it alone!! Everyone needs to understand the lives of Autistic children and their families. It's a hard life but it's worth every second to have that amazingly special person in your life! I wouldn't trade my life for the world!! My little Autistic Warrior is one of the reasons I am living today!! My older son is another reason!! My children are my world and I cherish every bit of my life with them!! So lets spread the word for
www.walknowforautism.org If you are not signed up in your area to walk then go online and sign up! Raise money and better yet raise awareness to help the kids who have ASD. If you would like to join our team in Houston TX then you may click the link above and sign up under the team name: Ashtons Warriors, we would love to have you as a part of our team! We will have team t-shirts (cost 20$) and there will be more gear available later, (bandannas, hats, bracelets, etc.) I hope to see some new faces for the walk!
