Hi Reich,

How’s Dale doing? I see that you haven’t posted in a while, but I just came across your blog, and I wondered if you would like to post something about a short video series our company just produced for Autism Awareness Month as a part of our Weekly Tips Series.

In the first video, our therapists highlight some key early signs of autism that parents can look for while showing video examples. The next three videos feature a single mother, Trina Mcfield and her twin sons, one of which was diagnosed with autism.

The videos are contained within a popup on our website http:www.rethinkautism.com and I hope you take a look and help spread the word for Autism Awareness Month!

Thanks!
