NEWS AND VIEWS: New Jersey is among the states considering mandating autism awareness training for first-responders such as EMT personnel. For more information, visit New Jersey COSAC's government affairs page.

FUNDING SOURCES: I've posted a new page of corporate funding sources for non-profits. The page is a work in progress and any additional input would be great, but I like to think it's a good place to start for organizations looking to tap into additional funds.

EDUCATORS: I've begun a mailing to professors and other educators of medical ethics, early-education, and special-needs education, offering myself as a guest speaker for their classes. Lectures can be in-person or via speakphone or Webcast. If you know of an educator who might be interested, please e-mail me, and thanks!

PODCASTS: Topics include hitting the road for summer fun with an autistic boy, our take on Autism Awareness Month, our "wish list" for services for Alex, Ned on being Alex's brother, stares of strangers, and other topics. Click and listen at Today's Special!


Current essays look at a draft of something I'm writing for Preemies Today, a houseguest we had for a couple of weeks, and my memory of George Carlin.

Next Update: Tuesday, August 5.
