AUTISM-PKG2008-04-10-1207884988.jpgApril is Autism Awareness Month, and this weekend families will walk to raise money and celebrate the lives of autistic children like Matthew and Michael Massey. Their mom Rhonda says its a perfect way to get the word out on what its like to live with autism. She says, "So many of them, they look perfectly normal in the face but then they might have a temper tantrum and they may lay in the floor and people look at you like, whats wrong with you, why cant you control your kid? But they dont realize that they have a disability and they cant help it, so its really good to get the word out about the challenges these kids face, and the challenges that the parents face and just trying to live everyday life."
