GUYS! As most of you know, I participate in the Autism Speaks Los Angeles Walk every year in honor of/alongside my big brother Jeff aka Feffs. This year's walk takes place on April 29th. I thought I'd kick things off by sharing some fun facts/tidbits/shed some light on Feff's and my family's journey with autism. 

I'll start w this nuggetty gem. Nov. 11 1980. Feffs is almost two years old. At this point, he's a bubbly little guy w about 20 words in his vocabulary. He's been dealing with a gnarly ear infection/his antibiotics make him super foggy, but my parents have zero inkling of what's to come. Feffs loves his new little sister (how could you not!) except when she cries. Every time she opens her mouth to start squalling, he solemnly shakes his head and that toddler finger at her. (Something I've taken to doing w Elijah, albeit w limited success. Apparently I don't have Feff''s charisma.) 

Feffs is now severely disabled with autism and completely non-verbal. As I refuse to give up on my nightly star-wish to hear him talk, I selfishly raise money every year for more of that research we need so much of. If you'd like to contribute, please please do!!
