Congratulations to Sam Wessels 10 year old CNN iReport Award Winner for Autism

Sam WMany of you know Lin Wessels, a tireless advocate for people with autism - who by virtue of living in Iowa was able to meet all of the Presidential candidates, along with her son, to introduce them to autism. Lin has also been a supporter of the United States of Autism movie which features her family.

Sam's video "I speak about autism because I can" has won an CNN iReport award.   Said one judge: “Sam and his family are so thoughtful to share ‘their’ story. It's special that Sam talks so openly about autism and documented it via iReport,” wrote public relations consultant Sarah Evans.  Please join us in thanking both Lin and Sam for their work.
