VH1 Launches Rock Autism Site
On March 13 I posted about VH1 Classic’s upcoming Rock Autism project; I’ve been checking regularly to see when it will be launched and I just discovered this evening that it is officially live: VH1 Classic’s Rock Autism Campaign. Just in time for National Autism Awareness Month which begins tomorrow, April 1st.
From the VH1 site:
VH1 Classic’s Rock Autism campaign is designed to help educate parents and
build awareness about autism, a complex neurobiological developmental disorder
that lasts throughout a person’s lifetime, and to raise funds for a variety of
autism research, advocacy, and support organizations. Autism affects one in
every 150 children, with a child diagnosed every 21 minutes. Today, there is no
known cause or cure. VH1 Classic aims to galvanize a community of artists and
fans in support of this cause.
Several classic rockers, including Steven Tyler, Dee Snyder, and Rob Halford have participated in a Public Service Announcement to help promote autism awareness. In addition there is a “Facts” section which discusses both diagnostic and treatment options.
