Fun in the Windy City

I took a day to gather my thoughts on the trip. I had a wonderful time. I talked to so many people. This was a great experience to travel and meet people that have been touched by the series. The Internet is such a powerful tool to reach people on a global scale. That's exactly what this series did. By not only reporting the issues that surround autism, but showing the process of the series on this blog, built a strong audience.

I hope the panel brought topics to the forefront on how to develop a stronger relationship between the autism community and journalists. I was humbled to be part of the collective conversation.

Good A.M.

Saturday Morning. Big day!

Good Times

Things are going very well. I thought the journalism panel was productive. I think we all gave good insight to parents and doctors.
My video is taking a while to load...but I do have some clips.

Parents and doctors keep approaching me. It is so great to meet so many faces!

Goodnight!

Haley video

Mid-Friday

Jenny McCarthy just got done talking. I was in the very back. I have yet to hear her talk about her son going into a seizures for 70 hours then going into a coma for 4 days. Apparently she is going to do chelation this summer.

The video that she showed at the end--She is producing with Jim. It was a griping video with some of her best quotes when she has appeared on shows.

I am going to see Haley this afternoon.

Here!

Made it.
The place is packed and doctors are everywhere. I will update later. I have Internet in here! yahoo!
