Virginia Lights

The State of Virginia is the home of 10 Autism Lights. The Virginia group is very representative of the country as it includes a vaccuum salesman, two autism mothers, two autism fathers, an autism brother, a story teller, a musician, an athlete (runner), and a journalist on the memorial roll.
