Autism Awareness

Since I found this place looking for the author of my Mom's favorite poem, I thought it'd be appropriate to start with it...

This is the beginning of a new day.
God has given me this day to use as I will.
I can waste it or grow in its light and be of service to others.
But what I do with this day is important because I have exchanged a day of my life for it.
When tomorrow comes, today will be gone forever.
I hope I will not regret the price I paid for it.
