First World Autism Awareness Day

April 2, 2008 has been designated the first World Autism Awareness Day by the United Nations.

CNN.com has had all sorts of stories about autism this week.

Autism is of special interest to us because Tom’s youngest brother, John, is autistic.

If you didn’t get a chance, check out our 4 podcasts where we interviewed his parents about autism:

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4

It was a lot of fun interviewing them and quite enlightening. Since Tom’s brother is in his twenties, we can only hope that parents these days have an easier time.

Tom’s dad has also written a few poems about autism (here and here). Don’t forget to check out our autism links on the right too. Lots of good information there as well.
