Today, Wednesday April 2nd is World Autism Awareness Day. CNN is using its unparalleled resources to report on the global impact and latest science of the developmental syndrome of autism for the first “World Autism Awareness Day.” Online as well as on CNN/U.S., CNN International, CNN en Español and Headline New.

As part of this effort, CNN en Español has featured several programs and interviews with ICDL faculty, including:

• En Familia, with Maria Aggio, Argentina, Sp.Ed (Sunday March 30, 2008 @ 7:30PM EST)
• Consulta Medica & En familia, with Milagros Cordero Ed.D., O.T.R./L, B.C.P., (Monday March 31, 2008, @ 7:30PM EST)

• Panorama Mundial, with Jose Cordero, M.D., MPH.(Wednesday, April 2, 2008)

We will be posting more interviews as we know about them and hopefully the links to the videos so you can watch them if you missed them.

In celebration of World Autism Awareness Day, ICDL invites you to take a look at our on-line publication GLIMPSE. This phenomenal body of work is the first of its kind and features writings and artwork created by people with a history of autism and other development disorders. This publications includes poetry, essays, reflections, short stories, photography, and two-dimensional artwork on any subject, so that we may gain a GLIMPSE into the rich inner lives of these individuals.
