In Greater Madison, Wisconsin one local business has found an interesting way to involve themselves with Autism. They’re so proud of their involvement with Autism that they announced it in the Yellow Pages! Give a big round of applause to…Jiffy Lube???

Elyse Bruce (Founder, midnightinchicago.com):
We interviewed Douglas Giesel who has Multiple Sclerosis and Lewis, who talks about Asperger Syndrome and Myasthenia Gravis. Both interviews are very enlightening as they discuss the obstacles of invisible disabilities and how the outside world reacts to those with invisible disabilities.
Douglas talks about his MS and about the stereotypes he used to have about Autism. He even uses the phrase “… something that IRKS me to no end …” Hahaha!
And then there’s the ever delightful Lewis and he has a lot to say about Autism, about his new school situation, about his latest diagnosis and more.”
