On this trip I have often referred to my car as my hotel room, and for good reason. It contains a bed, a refrigerator, a closet, and a toilet. To a normal person this would look like a reclined seat, a cooler, a backseat and a window. Being that I was traveling alone I was able to fill my trunk and backseat up with a bunch of seemingly important things but over the course of this trip it became painfully obvious that the only thing that I actually needed to bring were a couple of gi's a jar of peanut butter and jelly and a loaf of bread.

Being a Parent of a 9 yr old daugher, Emily who has a younger brother Jonathan who was Diagnosed with Autism at the Age of 20 months, this is a concern of mine. I worry about her growing up with issues later in life, but will work day and night to educate myself, to hopefully avoid that at all costs.

The CDFoakely videos present the realities of severe autism that you don't see on television or movies.

Persons who are severely autistic do not attend colleges for gifted youths, intervene as "autistics" before the Supreme Court of Canada to oppose families seeking government funded ABA interventions for their own children, pose for interviews with CBC, CNN or the New Yorker Magazine or hob nob with Washington politicians and bureaucrats.
