GOP at Iowa Straw Poll Show Off Their United States of Autism Shirts
Thanks to Lin Wessels, one of the families from the United States of Autism film, four GOP presidential candidates, one US senator, one Fox News commentator, and thousands of local Iowans had the opportunity to hear and see the great United States of Autism t-shirts! The GOP contenders receiving t-shirts included Ron Paul, Tim Pawlenty, Rick Santorum and Herman Cain. The GOP Senator from Iowa Chuck Grassley also received a t-shirt as well as Fox News Commentator Mike Huckabee.
This was an exciting opportunity for the 2012 election candidates to start becoming aware of autism and the role it will play in the election. We’re also very thankful here at the United States of Autism to have the help of Lin and her family in helping to put this in place. While we can not always be out there at every event, the passion and commitment of all our families can play a key role in moving this film forward. Thanks Lin!

Graham Colton Song Dedication for United States of Autism
As many of you have heard, Graham Colton’s new song “Love Comes Back Around” off his new album Pacific Coast Eyes plays a key role in the film the United States of Autism. Last night, we had the great opportunity to see Graham play this song live in Philadelphia, and it was awesome!
He finished out his set with Love Comes Back Around, and at the beginning of this song you’ll hear him explaining why he wrote the song. He then goes on to speak about the United States of Autism movie and how he’s playing a part in the autism world. It was a top notch performance, and we had a chance to speak with Graham after the show about another song that we could put together for the film. Let’s just say that the next song you hear from Graham for the film us going to tug at hearts around the world.
In the mean time, be sure to enjoy the video and why not go ahead and buy a copy of his album off of his site. He’s put every last part of himself into this first off-label album and it’s worth hearing a great songwriter in this lyrically dumbed down era, I assure you. Enjoy the video!
