The Voice of Heard/Understanding Autism, The Final Voice

The following is the last blog that I have done, for this is the last day of my internship here at WCCA TV13.  I am really proud to have written this blog.

The number of people with autism is growing.  I am one of them.  And with that number comes a number of attempts to explain the behavior of autistic people, a number of research programs that attempt to understand autism, and a number of programs intended to help autistic people.

As a man who is affected by autism, I would like to provide you links which may help increase your understanding of autism, including the facts, the myths, and the latest research findings.  Here are the links below:

http://www.arccm.org/aboutautism.html

This is the website for the local autism resource center.

http://autism.about.com/od/whatisautism/tp/topmyths.htm

This link deals with the most basic myths of autistic people.

This well-written article covers the myth of vaccines as the cause of autism.

If you have been reading this blog, then you already know what I can do.  As my internship ends, I am going to continue to pursue my career goal to become a film maker.  It has been a real excitment to write this blog.  So, I hope you have enjoyed my blog.  Wish me luck in my career goal!
