Autism Awareness in the Keys

Jill Campbell, whose son Craigee was diagnosed with Autism last year, is raising awareness with her new foundation called The Florida Keys Chapter of the Autism Society of America.  She supports other families with autistic children and they share information about autism and promote awareness.

She spends two hours driving Craigee to the University of Miami's Center for Autism and Related Disabilities six days a week.  She also drives him to an autism specialist who works 230 miles away from where they live once a month.  She even has him on a special diet.

I like what she's doing for her son.  She's a hero in my book.

Good job, Jill.
