About Me

Photobucket" href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcGhvdG9idWNrZXQuY2 9t" target="_blank" A 2007 Centers for Disease Control report found that 1 in 150 children in America today have an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ASA estimates that 1.5 million Americans and their families are now affected. Autism is a national health crisis, costing the U.S. at least $35 billion annually.value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nTWIt5Wkzus" / As some of you know, my son has autism. And as a single mother, this is very hard. My son is so adorable, and so happy. But I am afraid for when he grows up. From 1987-2002 autism rates have gone up 173%. In California, 634 %. This is no joke. SOmething bad is happening to our kids, and it is a shame now that most likely someone you meet, will at least know someone with autism. My heart breaks for my son. And this is my son. Please educate yourselves about autism. This isn't a little disability. It is growing and growing. Learn as much as you can. Because soon, you will at least run into someone you know who has a child with it. Much Love, Debbie="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcGhvdG9idWNrZXQu Y29t" target="_blank" ..

I love Pittsburgh, I think it's the best place in the world to live. I love the Steelers! I love to walk the trails here in the parks and I love American history.

My Interests

Thanks Jeff Reed for making draft day awesome, even in the rain. I am so glad you grew your hair back!! God Bless you Bill, we will miss you so much. Thanks for all the years of great coaching. State Parks, Football, Seinfeld, exploring new places, hiking, I love American history. Love to visit historic places. Please support autism. April is coming up, and it is autism awareness month. You may have noticed more things on TV about it, or probably have met someone who at least knew someone with autism. It is becoming an epidemic, with more and more diagnoses each year. These kids need our support. Thanks.

I'd like to meet:
