What My Family Wants You to Know About Autism | Mashable

Описание: AJ and Garrett are 4-year-old identical twins with autism. Their 6-year-old sister Angelina told us (and Grover!) a lot about her brothers' challenges and triumphs.

Mashable is proud to partner with Sesame Workshop, the non-profit educational organization behind Sesame Street, and Groupon on this initiative to promote acceptance and inclusion by highlighting the commonalities children with autism share with all children.  This work is a natural extension of the Workshop's mission to help all children grow up smarter, stronger and kinder.

In association with the campaign, Groupon has also launched a sweepstakes with a chance to win a trip to New York City to attend a live taping of Sesame Street and get a behind-the-scenes tour. Contributors who donate to the campaign are automatically entered into the sweepstakes.
