Harry Belafonte - Calypso (Full Album) 1956
Autism ASK history club has been meeting 48 weeks a year for over a decade! Never a bad topic! Tonight they decided to focus on Harry Belafonte in memory of a life well-lived. Prior to prepping for class, I anticipated a nice evening of pleasant music. Belafonte was that and so much more! After learning of his activism in civil rights and philanthropy, we decided this quote of his was the most important one to embrace:
"Don't ever let injustice go unchallenged."
Harry Belafonte (born Harold George Bellanfanti Jr.; March 1, 1927 – April 25, 2023) was an American singer, actor and activist, who popularized calypso musi...

Comments
Does anyone have a contact name or agency that will work with an employer seeking to hire young adults with Asperger's?
Somewhat confused and disappointed; Karl never received a preliminary intake call mid-Sept - something we were told to expect during an initial conversation with an Autism Ask representative early in August.

Dr. Bensur is a supportive advocate for individuals with Autism and has been successful in helping individuals and families with Autism. He authored a book “Autistic Spectrum Disorders A New Outlook” and it is available through Amazon in both the print and Kindle format. The book is based on first hand experiences in Dr. Bensur’s practice. It is a wealth of information for families, teachers, caregivers and individuals with Autism.

My Son had an appointment today to determine whether he is autistic. At the end of the examination, we were told that we would have to make a second appointment to get the results, however, I told the receptionist that we would not be able to make the 1 1/2 hour trip for a five minute appointment( I know this because my older son was also diagnosed through them,but we were able to get the results the same day,and it was literally five minutes) but to just send the results to his primary doctor. She told me they could not do that. Is this true?
The Waiting Song was inspired by my son Joshua who is Autistic and came up with the song during therapy while he was learning to wait. I created the book to capture the song forever!
