Every time I see a national disaster my heart immediately goes out to the families of children with autism involved. Kids with autism need order. They need sameness. They can flip out if their favorite cup isn't clean. Imagine what happens inside of them if their home is suddenly destroyed? It is crises ramped up 100 notches for these families.
Unfortunately this is exactly what is happening to a friend of this blog.
Many of you are probably familiar with Jeanne of Charlie in Wonderland. Yesterday her home was devastated by a tornado. They got out with Charlie's supplements, his robots and his Legos, and that is about it.
Jeanne is an incredible bio-med mom whose child has made tremendous progress since his regression into autism. She has dedicated her life to helping Charlie, and many other families through her relentless advocacy.
Charlie's family will be living with relatives for months until their home can be rebuilt. Tori Duncan at Lend 4 Health has set up a special "Chip In" to help this good family get back on its feet.
My heart goes out to Charlie tonight and to everyone who loves him. Sleep well little man. People care.
