Linda’s comment: Dear Doctors, colleagues, friends and family……
PLEASE share this information with all you know and VOTE daily….share with your patient base, church, other doctors…..This is a wonderful opportunity to help us get the education and awareness needed to help all understand this devastating disease….Autism families are in need of people understanding their needs and their children. With the proper treatment of detox, modalities, supplements, speech, OT, etc., etc., etc., these children can be productive happy children and can become productive happy adults. However, it takes a village to raise a child and it is going to take ALL to help these families to accomplish what is needed….
How many times have you seen a child at the play ground, church, airport, etc., etc., etc., that appear to have behavior problems? Have you given any thought that these children might be on the autism spectrum and leaning life skills to be normal children? Instead of making rude comments to their parent and/or caregiver about their behavior stop and think, perhaps this is a child with Autism? How can I help this child?
Help this brave mom win her audition with Oprah, so she can continue her mission to bring education and awareness to the world about children/adults who need our love, compassion and understanding what they are living.
PLEASE VOTE daily for this mom and get this into the hands of everyone you know who will take the time to vote for this courageous mom.

Dear Provider/Agency/Advocate/Organization of services to individuals with Autism:
Please view the following video link regarding a reality show/talk show about autism.
My name is Prather Harrell. I am a parent of two children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (one PDD-NOS, the other Autism). I have decided to pioneer a journey to get autism the well publicized national and global attention it deserves by entering a contest hosted by Oprah Winfrey to pitch a show idea to her network producers. I am hoping I can get your support.
The video link above is an online audition video I’ve posted on Oprah.com about my idea to host a reality show/talk show about families living and dealing with autism everyday. I need to generate as many votes as possible between now and 11:59pm July 3, 2010. That is not a lot of time, so I am hoping you would be willing to send this email with the attached link to your families, friends and constituents to request their support by voting. Below is the email I’ve sent to my immediate circle of influence, but now I need to stretch my resources. Will you help me???
I appreciate anything you can do to help get the word out about voting. I promise this will be the only email you receive unless you respond with question or comment. If you decided that you WILL send this email to parents, friends and constituents, here is the letter to them:
Hello Friends,
Thank-you for taking time to read this email and view the video. For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Prather Harrell, and I have your information due to either our own acquaintance (past or present) or through that of a friend or family member that knows you and has forwarded your info onto me.
I have a 5 year old son named Jonah who has autism. Our journey with him has been both a challenge and a blessing. I have learned to view the world very differently because he sees the world very differently. It is because of him that I was inspired to participate in a contest hosted by Oprah Winfrey.
The contest is to pitch a show idea to her network producers for her new network OWN – the Oprah Winfrey Network, that will launch in January 2011. My show idea is to be the host of a reality show/talk show about families living and dealing with autism everyday.
I would love your support by clicking on the link below, viewing my video audition (just 3 min), then clicking on VOTE! Then, I would request you to forward this email along to all of your contacts to view and VOTE as well. The contest ends 11:59pm July 3, 2010, so I have from now until then to generate as many votes as possible. YOU CAN VOTE AS OFTEN AS YOU LIKE!!! You do not need to watch the video to vote. Remember, I’m trying to give children and adults with autism the voice they’ve never had before – a national platform on the Oprah Winfrey Network. It doesn’t get much bigger than that!

Be blessed and thank-you so much for your support and your vote!
Sincerely,
