Hey Everyone,

Thanks for checking out my blog - and guess what - my followers have doubled - Thanks Nat.

So after a conference call with the execs at Autism Canada here is the final PSA radio spot that has gone into production.

I could use a little help. Someone a little media savvy would be great. I have my eye on a few of you, but it would be cooling if you volunteered.

Anyhoo - read the spot and please comment to

thanks

(This spot should be voiced by a women - the mother. The voice should move from complete happiness to total devastation – the diagnosis and on-set of Autism can be quick and devastating.)

His first year filled with the growth and discoveries that every healthy baby should know.
His second year, Adam became isolated and disengaged. He seemed completely disconnected from us
He became obsessed with spinning the wheels on his cars and lining up toys.

I sent to the TEAM LUC producer. He was more then happy to help out once he heard my story and how important the cause is.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for following me through this journey of volunteerism. Strangely, my blog says I have only one follower, but I know I have more because my Iphone says so - and if the Iphone says it, it must be true. But if it is true - BIG SHOUT OUT TO ELENA - YOUR AWESOME.

So, the idea for the PSA script was to A, show how autism isn't something that your are necessarily born with, or is apparent right away. B, paint a picture of what the first signs are and speak the massive numbers of people and families that are affected by this disorder. And C - (and you can't see this in the script, but once it's voiced you'll hear the devastation in the mothers voice) - C - show how devastating it is to a family when they are slowly losing their son. Trust someone who knows, the affects are crippling, so you can give in, or you can fight. Guess which way my family choose to go.



Here is the script writen by the Team Luc Copy Writer - I don't know if he want's to be identified yet - so I'm keeping it on the low down - er ah I mean down low.

And his name is Andrew.

His first year filled with the growth and discoveries that every healthy baby should know.

His second year, Andrew became isolated and stimulated by nothing…

Unstirred by even the mention of his own name or the presence of family.

Your comments are always welcome - and if you want to help let me know - I need people that can make calls to radio stations and ask who is the PSA person - I know you can do that - right?
