Last year our neighbor, Locke, was one of those children. Locke's mother Kristen tells me, "It was rough at first, but with the love and support of our friends and family, as well as Autism Speaks, we have come a long way!"Now the whole Gamet family wants to find a way to support and help the families that will be faced with this diagnoses. They are joining the thousands of others walking in the 2009 Georgia Walk Now for Autism.
