Autism Awareness

I made this video for my son Jacob for Autism Awareness Month. Be aware. Be understanding. Be educated.

Music is Chris Rice's "Everything's OK" from his Run The Earth Watch the Sky album.

**NOTE: At the time I made this video (2008), the statistic was 1 in 150. It is now 2010 and the new statistic 1 in 110 who is affected by autism spectrum disorders.**

The song is called "Everything's OK" by Chris Rice. It is off his album called "Run The Earth Watch The Sky". It's a great song and great album!
