The Asperger's Girl Guide

Hi everyone, As you know I am a great supporter of anyone with autism and I was asked by a proud and lovely mum called Denise who's son Sam is a Finalist in a Film Festival. He has made a 5 minute short film about his girlfriend who has Downs Syndrome and it would mean a lot for you guys to vote for him.

Many Thanks Sophie xxxxx
