    Jane's tip of the day... 
    Just because you don't believe in the Organization doesn't mean you can't still help to bring Awareness. This is the last day of Autism Awareness Month for many. But it is Autism Awareness in many more households Daily!

    Please link directly to your Weekend Warrior Post

    and informational links, but please, no links 
    to ads for expensive items the average household cannot afford)

    Hello!

    Thanks for following my blog! I'm new to the process. I always love meeting new people who share my love of trashy TV!

    Weekend Warriors is such a great idea! When I was in high school I babysat a boy with Autism a few times a week - and I loved every minute of it! He's such a great kid.

    I live with my boyfriend, who has Muscular Dystrophy, & I'm learning more every day how important awareness is. I look forward to participating!

    Linking up to Weekend Warriors for the first time, hope it's ok to link twice but the diagnosis of my youngest was a different experience than the dx of my twins... linked up to old posts on both.

    I look forward to reading other responses.
