Yesterday, I had a booth at the Autism Walk event.  It was amazing.  There were around 20,000 adults and children having a great time playing games and playing on the apparatus.  I had hundreds of visitors at my booth and it was a pleasure to meet them and hear their stories.  My book sales were fantastic.  It was a great day for all attendees.   Visit www.raisingbrandon.com

I was watching The Ellen Show today.  One of her guests was a mother  whose son was recently bullied to death.  He took his own life, because he couldn't take the constant teasing, bullying and harassing.  It's tragic. We do have to do something about this before more children take their lives, and our innocent children are harmed both physically, and emotionally.  My son, Brandon, was one of the luckier ones.  After years of constant teasing, bullying and physical abuse from some of the students at the schools he attended he somehow survived.  However, today at age thirty-six he still has scars and very deep wounds from being bullied.  As Ellen said, "Words can kill you."  She is right they truly can.  Visit www.raisingbrandon.com
