Autism

What Kind Of World Do You Want?

Posted by: Claudine in DC Metro Mommy, Autism on Sep 11, 2008

Autism Speaks After reading Workout Mommy's blog on the upcoming Autism Walk, I was reminded of a video that was circulating a few months ago. I was so moved that I shared the website and video with friends. With the advent of my blog I felt compelled to now share this information with readers.

As April draws to a close I wanted to take an opportunity to again highlight a special story that is currently posted in the site's Mommy Matters section. This special story was written and shared by my sister-in-law. I hope you find it as moving and as inspirational as I do.

Joseph Stanley Kurp was born on November 19, 1991; he was named after two great men in this world, his Father and his Grandfather. Second in line to his sister Stephanie, just 12 months his senior.
