Family Dynamics

Judy Greenberg, like so many others, is a grandmother of an autistic child.  Using the knowledge and experience she has gained from working with her own grandchild, Judy heads GASAK, Gradparent Advocates Supporting Autistic Kids, which is a group of concerned grandparents doing what they can to help their own children to cope with the issues involved with raising an autistic child -- and, of course, like grandparents of all children, they are working together to have their autistic grandchildren lead the best and most productive lives they possibly can.  Autism awareness is important.
