Many of you don’t know that I have both a sister and a niece with special needs. My sister suffered brain damage as a result of her belirubin climbing to record heights as an infant. Her functioning level was put at that of a six year old, even though she is 30 years old. She is the sweetest person, but has had a very rough life due to this and other unrelated problems. My niece has been diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, and I have been learning all I can about this very common Autism Spectrum Disorder.
As a result, I am a proud supporter of sites and causes that promote information and fund raising for different special needs related information. In my travels I have found a great resource for those people that deal on a more first hand basis with special needs individuals that is called 5 Minutes for Special Needs.
Please take a minute to visit this great site, as well as pass it along to everyone you know that may be interested.
