Midnight in Chicago Releases New Autism Video

Midnight in Chicago, a tourism and cultural initiative which raises funds and awareness for autism, has released an autism video entitled "Wonderworks". The first of Midnight in Chicago's videos was "The Mad Hatter". Choreographed to singer/songwriter Elyse Bruce's song, "The Mad Hatter" from Midnight in Chicago's "Countdown to Midnight" CD, the video was designed to give viewers facts about autism. "The Mad Hatter" can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8fm46b3Z68

Midnight in Chicago's new video, entitled "Wonderworks", was choreographed to Elyse Bruce's song "I live My Life" and was designed to show that people with autism (and co-morbidities - in this case Myasthenia Gravis) can live normal lives. The "Wonderworks" video can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsS-mZn9XTA

Midnight in Chicago is pleased that it can play a vital role in bringing awareness to autism, autism spectrum disorders, and Myasthenia Gravis. Over 600 health and autism organizations around the world as well as experts in the field of Autism Spectrum Disorders such as Dr. Tony Attwood and the Autism Societies of America and Canada, have linked to the Midnight in Chicago Audio Podcasts on Autism Spectrum Disorders which can be found at www.autism.podomatic.com as well as www.mic.mypodcast.com .
