RIP William Christopher

I grew up watching MASH and still enjoy the reruns after all these years.  One of my favorite characters was Father Mulcahy for his gentle and human demeanor.

As it turns out, we had a lot more in common than I thought.  Mr. Christopher was the father to an autistic son, and spent much of his time as an advocate for autism awareness.  He also wrote a book about his own experiences called "Mixed Blessings".  

William Christopher did things to try and raise awareness as far back as 30 years ago when there was even less knowledge than there is today.  

Thanks you sir for your contribution to autism awareness.  RIP
