Hi All,

I was just on my MySpace site and I found this film. I thought I would share it with y'all. It made me cry. But, in a good way. Enjoy!!!

Faith, Love & Hope,

Sandy

Just packing up now as Autism One comes to a close. It has been another wonderful year and I am so glad I was able to bring all my kids and husband this year. My older boys are 14 and 13. Soon they will be choosing educational pathways that will lead them to a career. I thought I would bring them this year so they could learn a little bit about biomedicine. I didn't make them go to any of the presentations, I just wanted them here to see that this is real and to give them some direction towards choosing (hopefully) a career in biomedicine.

In October 2005 we were blessed with our youngest bundle of JOY Jezeriah! At just 4 weeks old Jezeriah arrived at our home. The sweetest fair haired infant I had ever layed eye on! What a truly incredable gift from GOD! Jezeriah has down syndrome and his family felt they could not give him all that was necessary to thrive and develop. So our family dedicated to advancing and believing in all differences, received him with an open and believing heart! In the first few weeks Jezeriah lifted his head and soon began to bear weight on his arms to push himself up.

Wow Wow and Wow. My mind is spinning. I met, heard, and saw so many real Autism Advocates today. I am just overwhelmed. I was able to be around at set up on Wednesday night. I was able to see a few speakers on Thursday. Today the conference was in full swing. I was able to actually have conversations with the people doing the research, fighting the legal battles, writing the blogs, selling the supplements, selling support services, writing the books, and those parents that are helping their children with Autism.
