Let us not forget

Let us not forget the real reason behind the first World Autism Day declared by the United Nations General Assembly, to raise awareness to the world, but especially the third world countries.

In modern society we take so much for granted. Life for C and I would be so different without what we call the basics such as a DVD player and Thomas the Tank Engine. Washing machines, microwaves, supermarkets. I don’t even give a second thought to what to some is a luxury like having water on tap, or light at the flick of a switch.

And no Internet! Doesn't bear thinking about!!

And the many battles I have fought, for what I have felt are Cs basic human rights.

How fortunate are we that these services are here for me to fight for. Many families in the third world do not even have basic education or health care, let alone special ed provision and speech therapy etc.
These thoughts are very humberling. For all of us.
