2. Hot Topic of Discussion – What has Jenny McCarthy Done for Autism?
Before 2005, Jenny McCarthy was a beautiful and well-known actress/comedian. After 2005, Jenny McCarthy became a celebrity spokesperson for her son, who was diagnosed with Autism at age two.
Jenny’s stances on vaccines and possible cures for Autism have made her a very controversial figure. Many people have tried to discredit her, but if you look closely, you will see that Jenny McCarthy is a mother trying to do the best for her child with Autism, and all she wants is to share her experiences with other families affected by this condition.

3. In the News – Is Autism Caused by Toxins?
As the world watches, new cases of Autism are diagnosed at alarming rates. At one time, very few people would stand and voice their concerns regarding toxins as a contributor to the rise of Autism. At one point in time, Autism was seen as a reflection on cold, unfeeling parents. Thankfully, times are changing and it is becoming obvious that there are many factors that come together to cause Autism.
Everyone, from frightened parents to alarmed politicians to cautious medical professionals, is beginning to research and question the possibility of a toxin-Autism connection. You can find more details in the following article:

4. Prominent People Linked with ASD – Author Sue Rubin
As a small child, Sue Rubin was believed to be severely autistic as well as severely learning disabled. She was non-verbal, unable to express herself in any way. As a young teenager, Sue was introduced to a form of communication called facilitated communication, a form of typed communication. Using facilitated communication, Sue was finally able to speak for herself and prove that she was actually very intelligent.
Sue graduated high school, went to college, and became a published author, a sought-after speaker, and even the subject of a documentary. Because she is able to explain what it is like to live with Autism, Sue is very popular at Autism and Special Education conventions. You can learn more about this amazing woman by clicking the following links:
