    • About Me: I am a married father of a 7 year old son who has autism. I have an upbeat blog called Autism Light to spread awareness of Autism's Diverse Heroes. The blog highlights people, resources, organizations, and other things that are a light to the cause of autism. I've learned a lot by the research required to do these and hope you will gain something too. I believe it is better to light a candle than to curse the autism.
