Dear Mr. Roberts and Mr. Burke,
My name is Lou Melgarejo and I am a Comcast/NBCU employee. I
have what I consider to be my dream job. I am a married father of three. I am
first and foremost a family man. My oldest daughter is a beautiful, energetic,
happy and incredibly intelligent 7 year old girl named Bianca. Bianca happens
to be autistic.
The current
autism diagnosis rate according to the CDC is 1 in 88 while a recent study
suggests that the
number could be even higher at 1 in 50 or 2% of school aged children being
autistic. Our daughter Bianca is one of those 88, but we like to refer to her
as being "1 in a million".
