April is Autism Awareness Month. April also ushers in the launch of PSA's (Public Service Announcements) for autism awareness. The PSA's are sponsored by the Ad Council and the organization Austims Speaks. The goals for Autism Speaks center around research, treatment and public awareness. It was founded in 2005 by Bob and Suzanne Wright after their grandson was diagnosed with autism. Suzanne Wright belongs to the board of directors of several non-profit organizations and Bob Wright is the CEO for NBC Universal and vice chairman and executive officer for GE. The PSA's are quite powerful and I urge you to view them on-line here and forward them to all you know.
