Hi, anyone else see this? This is the post I found on Roan's playgroup board. I actually found it kind of pandering to those without ASD kids; a little too cottonelle puppy dog teary, kwim. Oh I guess I'm just never going to be an Autism Speaks fan, lol.

The band, Five for Fighting, is generously donating $0.40 to
Autism Speaks for *each time* the video is viewed. The funding
goes toward research studies to help find a cure. When you have a
moment, please visit the link below to watch the video and pass
it along to your friends and family. It is a great & sad video.

They are aiming for 10,000 hits, but hope fully we can help them
to surpass this goal.

There are tons of videos on the Five for Fighting website for a few different charities. not all Autism, I think they have ALS, one for guys in Iraq, etc. I think that it is definitely a good thing those guys are doing.

I have to find my favorite one I happened across when looking there. It was called Purple and may have been for Save the Children. That was an awesome little video.

Here it is

With this video I was kind of thinking it was a bit too professional. Man that kid is gorgeous! Gerber baby. Parents must be photographers or something.
