​Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, has
followed ‘Autism Sara’ on Twitter & ‘sarasautismsite.com’, almost from
the beginning. I’m not certain what his autism interest is,
but he has several well known generous philanthropic connections.
 
But, Sonny’s dad was born in Philly and a huge Eagles fan.
Their organization has a focus for autism families.

Retrieved online from:
https://www.eaglesautismchallenge.org/

Today, millions of people around the world are connected to
autism. The Center for Disease Control estimates that 1 in
44 people under 21 living in the United States are on the
autism spectrum, making it the fastest-growing
developmental disorder. For Eagles owner and CEO Jeffrey
Lurie, it is personal. With autism in his own family, Lurie
knows his is just one of many families dealing with this
condition and has seen firsthand the difference the right
resources can make.

The Eagles Autism Challenge is dedicated to raising funds
for innovative research and care programs. By providing the
necessary resources to doctors and scientists at leading
institutions, we will be able to assist those currently affected
by autism as well as future generations. Our event aims to
inspire and engage the community, so together; we can
provide much-needed support to make a lasting impact in
the field of autism.

BEST OF LUCK TO BOTH TEAMS!!!

         Just to let you know that I, Sara Luker, have put forth my best efforts in presenting what I have learned over my 30 years with autism, Sharing Extended Book Reviews of  stories about those who have gone before us.      
         Understand that all health matters ALWAYS require medical decisions/diagnosis/treatment by highly qualified and licensed individuals. See website DISCLAIMER.

         Here you will find excerpts containing a combination of selections, synopses, general information prose, quotes and references to peer-reviewed articles.

         Plus < My Thoughts >, which are my responses to the material; as a state certified educator with a 2013 Master’s Degree in Special Education, and over 30 years as Sonny’s mom.

         The BLOGs on this site are meant to be insightful and timely. Comments and Responses are welcomed.

         The offered DOWNLOAD material is organized in UNITs and Chapters. The autism information comes from –

    *Peer-reviewed scientific journal articles, informational     and educational-writer articles.

    *Prose, which explains the currently circulating general public knowledge.

    *Personal, < My Thoughts > which are ‘educated   guesses’ about what it all means.

    *Poignant synopses of published parent stories.

    *Pages filled with decisions, denial, cited references, definitions, appendices, and more.

     Hearing the words “this child has autism,” parents are often shell-shocked.

         Then, in the face of so many more questions racing through their minds, the doctor says, “Just go online and read everything you can about autism.”

         
    Yes, disturbingly this kind of professional advice is given to many of our families.

    ​  If you are one of those families, or clinicians, I hope this material will give you a good start.
