I cheers all who work to find out causes, solutions etc...- But there are still way too many families out there who have no help, no progress, and frustration to no end. More needs to be done, we need to start helping those who can't afford or don't have the know how to help their children.

I appreciate not only the things these people have accomplished for others in the autism community, but I also appreciate what their deeds have done to inspire others to do the same.

Great job!
I needed this today, its a 'bad Autism day' around here, and just as I am willing to 'shut down and give up' I end up coming here to AoA and get a big dose of reality, comfort, and support, from ALL of you! There are certainly many more heros out there, and THANK GOD for that! When you see them all placed together like this, as well as start rattling off all of the names that could be/should be on the video list, it surely makes me feel better, because we are NOT a minority anymore, that more and more are seeing our truths and trying to help our families, we need to keep up the fight, and soon, I feel it, SOON there will be change...
Again, AoA, you have brought me back from my own 'bad day' and refreshed me...gave me my hope again today when I thought it was just not worth the energy today...THANK YOU!

Beautiful tribute. Amen to the heroes!

It is a nice tribute. I am very certain all of our kids deserve to be in there alos. Imagine how they spend days hours weeks and even years to learn to do a simple thing. Our son Donald Had stem cell therapy done in Germany 2 1/2 months ago and he is showing remarkable improvement. We are in the process of inviting the doctor here that did the procedure and getting the researcher that developed it to speek to the people in the autism community that have an interest. There are not moral issues with these stem cells. If you want to attend a conference such as this write [email protected] MD Woeller has also shown an interest.

I saw an interview on CNN Reliable sources today in which they were talking to Sir Harold Evans who was involved in reporting & exposing the Thalidomide story. The Host made the comment off script..."It's Not the In thing To do" I guess he was revealing the fact that Journalists today do not have the balls to take on big Pharma. Well this group should give us all the strength to say Autism Answers must be the "In Thing"

Just want to say thanks back! Let me add that no matter what stance we take on the cause and treatment, we all have the same vision -- that autism is preventable and reversible. We will do our part to make this happen!
