Most people either have someone in their family who has an autistic child or knows someone who does. Recent studies show Autism is the fastest growing developmental disability in the U.S. Autism is a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication, and behavioral challenges. A serious issue is early diagnosing.
It is mistaken as mental retardation or in many cases it’s seen as a child is “slow” and they will say he will eventually “catch up”. Our loved ones can be negatively affected throughout their lifespan if disparities in early diagnosis and treatment, health, special education and the criminal justice system are allowed to persist. It’s critical we learn more and take a stand on this important issue on their behalf. ********

Brothers, have you ever wondered why so many of our children are joining gangs? Or why they are failing in school? Or why are there so many teen pregnancies? Or why they are insensitive to each other?
One possible reason why our children are acting this way is that we choose to ignore what see and hear around us. We cannot and must not take the attitude of inaction until the above problems become personal.
We must begin to confront these problems and be willing to serve and protect our children as well as our community.

Teenage Pregnancy
In schools all over the country today, it is not uncommon to see a 15, 16, or 17 year old girl waddling in the hallways. It isn't rare to see a group of teenage mothers passing around ultra-sounds or baby pictures, either. In fact, it is too common. These days, teenagers are irresponsible and careless when dealing with the pressures of being in relationships. It is like an infectious disease, spreading throughout our community and influencing our children.
Although child bearing is a blessing and gift from God, our children should not be having children while in school. Something has to be done with the rate of teenage pregnancy and motherhood steadily growing. We have to educate our girls to learn how to say no and not to be so gullible. We have to teach our boys to respect our girls and not use them for playthings.
Something has to be done or soon all our babies will have babies and their babies will have babies and so on and so forth, the cycle will be never ending.

During this past summer, we were subjected to various points of view concerning health care reform. Americans were presented with the option of keeping their current plan or selecting a public option plan. The manner in which each side stated their case caused many to question their motives.
Whenever an advertisement has a mixture of truth and falsehood, it affects the way people respond. This manner of coloring the truth to gain an advantage could result in causing many people to become confused, frustrated and angry.
Speak the truth.

A True and Proper Education
We must come up with solutions to resolve the problems that we are faced with daily within our schools. One area that must be addressed and resolved is the lack of presence of us as men in our schools. This violation of our duty as men is a great contributor to the violence in the schools and streets that highlight the need for men to provide positive examples and role models for our young men and women to look up to.
We should take time to visit the schools to be aware of what is going on and volunteer our time to help? We must make a presence to stop the senseless violence that is taking place among our young.

It’s Flu Season
We’ve all heard so much about the flu this season. It seems that everywhere we turn information is given about getting a flu shot. As with any vaccination or shot, it’s a good idea to learn more about the ingredients and possible side effects. A little research on the internet revealed that some side effects could include the following: headache, malaise (feeling out-of-sorts), muscle pain, chills, nausea, fever, and vomiting.
A search of ingredients found the shots to include mercury among other things. It’s up to you to decide if you want to subject your body or anyone else you’re responsible for to this.
