Senator Jay Costa: I really have never seen a community of people; really, a family of advocates, lift each other up the way those with autism, and the autism do.
Howard Ondick: That’s Senator Jay Costa who says the families and advocates for those with autism are an inspiration and we could all learn a lot about love and support from their example.
Senator Jay Costa: Today, I wanted to spend one more day asking everyone to recognize all of you and your beautiful children, because that is what truly is autism awareness is about. More importantly, I want to thank you for always being present, and for making sure your voices are heard; heard here in the capital, and in the communities, and around the commonwealth.
Howard Ondick: More than 55 thousand children and adults suffer from autism in Pennsylvania, said our cost to join Lieutenant Governor Mike Stack, and autism advocates at the State Capital News conference Monday to raise awareness.
Senator Jay Costa: When was the last time that we stopped, really stopped to recognize the everyday heroes supporting someone living with a disability, specifically autism? We all know it’s easy to stand up and say that you support the cause, but I wonder how often folks slow down enough to walk a day in your lives.
