Mets Champs In Fight Against Autism
The Yankees got the parade up Broadway for winning it all last year, but on days like today, I want to have another parade for the Mets. I know, I know, they’ve disappointed on the field more than fans would ever like, but those same fans can take pride in the constant public service efforts made by the organization and its players.
Today, three Mets—Pedro Feliciano, Omir Santos, and Howard Johnson visited the New York Child Learning Institute, a school for children with autism in College Point, Queens, just down the road from Citi Field. It’s where my son, Liam, goes to school, and every day, my wife and I are grateful that he does. It’s a fantastic school, and today the kids, as well as the wonderful teachers and staff at NYCLI, just had a ball. I’m including a little video here so you get an idea of what it was like.
The visit was also an effort to preview the next Autism Awareness Day at Citi Field. It’s set for Saturday, May 8th this year, and as soon as a website for ticket sales goes up, I’ll pass it along to you. If you have a child with autism in your family or in your life, I urge you to come to that game; it’s a day when people with autism and their families and supporters can go out and have fun at the ballpark just like anybody else.
And finally, just to let you know how many people DO have autism touch their life: in chatting with Omir Santos today, he told me the visit meant a lot to him, because he has a cousin with autism. He said when he looked into the faces of the NYCLI students, he also saw his cousin. That meant a lot to me, and I think being at the school meant a lot to Omir, as well. Thank you, Mets, and thanks to all who help to improve the lives of children with autism!

The New York Metropolitans Organization has always been active in the community. Their dedication to Autism Awareness Days at Shea Stadium and now the new Citi Field is proof positive of this ideal.
I watch the interview during the game that you do with Gary Cohen every season. You articulate the cause so well.
A hearty New York thank you is extended to Howard Johnson, Pedro Feliciano and Omir Santos for their visit yesterday to the New York City Learning Institute in College Point, Queens. God Bless, Liam.
Interesting to read that Omir Santos has a cousin with Autism. He can relate to the children at the NYCLI.
I am a driving force behind a program in Upstate New York that trains students to better understand those diagnosed within the Autism Spectrum. Our primary goal is to better train individuals on how to evaluate and best serve the needs of children under the Spectrum. We are hoping to eventually have this program facilitated throughout all of New York State and the Tri-State Area.
With one in every ninty-five (95) children diagnosed under the Spectrum, more trained individuals are needed to work at not only fine schools like the NYCLI, but inclusive schools throughout our area.
Jim, you are a highly visable celebrity. You and Kaity do a wonderful job on the 6:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. PIX News. If you would ever like to discuss our educational program, we would be happy to talk to you. We are passionate entrepreneurs who look to revolutionize the training of individuals dealing with children diagnosed in the Autism Spectrum.
Feel free to email me at the address noted above. We would be thrilled to discuss our program. I also sent a similiar explanation on January 2, 2010 under a prior Jim Watkins Blog.
A Healthy, Happy and Blessed New Year 2010 to you and your family. God Bless.
