&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For starters,&amp;nbsp;I am concerned about the ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act). &amp;quot;Why?&amp;quot;, you might ask? It is because the ADA is slowly being weakend by the US Supreme Court bit by bit. &amp;quot;How?&amp;quot;, you&amp;nbsp;might ask? It is because the ADA is being slowly restricted in terms of who is actually covered and is given protection by the ADA.&lt;img src="http://community.tasteofhome.com/emoticons/emotion-6.gif" alt="Sad" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People need to&amp;nbsp;fully support&amp;nbsp;the ADA. People need to contact their&amp;nbsp;elected Congressmen and encourage them to fully support the ADA. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Without the ADA, the Disability Community&amp;nbsp;will be&amp;nbsp;in&amp;nbsp;trouble. The Disability Community is fighting to make the ADA stronger instead of weaker. Please pray that the&amp;nbsp;Disability Community will acheive their ADA objectives.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For starters, I have an only child who is an adult that was born with Autism and Mental Retardation. It has been a very interesting journey to raise a child that has Autism and Mental Retardation. Autism is not a Mental Illness like&amp;nbsp;various&amp;nbsp;people think&amp;nbsp;that Autism is. Autism is a&amp;nbsp;misunderstood&amp;nbsp;Disability.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since April is &amp;quot;Autism Awareness Month&amp;quot;, I encourage everybody to read and learn about &amp;nbsp;Autism and to raise awareness about Autism. &lt;img src="http://community.tasteofhome.com/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://community.tasteofhome.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=5383758" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>PRCA</name><uri>http://community.tasteofhome.com/members/PRCA/default.aspx</uri></author><category term="Disability" scheme="http://community.tasteofhome.com/blogs/prca/archive/tags/Disability/default.aspx" /><category term="Disabilities" scheme="http://community.tasteofhome.com/blogs/prca/archive/tags/Disabilities/default.aspx" /><category term="Autism" scheme="http://community.tasteofhome.com/blogs/prca/archive/tags/Autism/default.aspx" /><category term="Mental Retardation" scheme="http://community.tasteofhome.com/blogs/prca/archive/tags/Mental+Retardation/default.aspx" /></entry></feed>
