And may you never love in vain
And in my heart you'll always remain
Forever young, forever young

Letter I emailed to the producers of Parenthood:
Hi there,
I'm a 17 year old junior in California. Junior year is known as the most stressful in high school, and that's true. Yet, I still make time every week to watch Parenthood.
I wanted to thank the show's creators, producers, writers, and cast for diagnosing Max with Asperger's. I volunteer a lot with kids with Autism (an ongoing sports program called E-Soccer and a summer camp called Exceptional Needs Network). I'm also looking into a career to help autistic kids and hopefully find a cure someday soon. My friends don't understand what drives me to work with autistic kids, and they don't see how they inspire me. Through Max on Parenthood, I know there are tons of viewers across the country who are learning more and more each week about these kids. They're special, and they deserve the world. Thank you so much for opening America's eyes to the beauties and wonders of autistic kids.
Megan
17 years old
