Do you know a kid or adult with Asperger syndrome or who is on the autism spectrum? Then meet a Connecticut spokesperson for AANE - the Asperger / Autism Network and learn about all the services and supports available, the work the agency is doing regarding advocacy and de-stigmatizing, and how to get involved.

Then we're circling back with the Bridgeport Child Advocacy Coalition / RYASAP to do a brief review of some of the most important points from the latest 'State of the Child' report which is focusing on research and educational data. See what insight it might offer to your community.

And we'll meet a state spokesperson for The National Association For Amateur Radio, which counts hundreds of HAM radio operators among its members who stand ready during times of disaster to provide a vital backup communication network to emergency responders. Maybe this could be the perfect hobby and public service you'd like to take up in 2022 - stay tuned.
