The Greater Boston Walk Now for Autism fundraising walk will be in two weeks, and my family and I will be walking.

It’s a really good cause: advancing and accelerating autism research. I won’t beat you over the head with the latest figures and alarming factoids — if you want more info about autism, the Autism Speaks site has all of it. For more personal views of the condition, look at my autism posts or my wife Susan’s blog.

I’d appreciate any support you can give, either by donating or even joining in on the day of the walk (October 14). In the past, I’ve been enormously touched by the number and variety of people who gave even a small amount, so thank you.
