Buck for a Truck Contest Winner!
JACK'S SECOND SHOW gave Talk About Curing Autism a truckload of support.
Literally. We filled the bed of a 2008 Nissan Titan with cheap sunglasses. All you had to do was guess how many cheap sunglasses it takes to fill up the Nissan Titan. All donations benefitted Talk About Curing Autism.
THANKS JACK FM &
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA NISSAN DEALERS!
. . . Congratulations to Ike Hassid from Reseda (shown above) with a winning guess of 7,421. (Did you get close in your guess?)
And here we have some photos of folks walking away from JACK'S SECOND SHOW with our really cheap sunglasses. Do you wear your sunglasses at night? 'Til next year!
TACA Volunteer parents and Jack FM “Sticker Pimps” followed the Nissan Titan and thousands of sunglasses to 34 locations prior to Jacks Second Show! Not only did folks get to do a buck for a truck guess but they also learned about autism and TACA’s efforts. Check out the photos from the efforts!

I had Christian when I was 19 years old. For the first year of his life I couldn’t imagine anything being wrong with my baby. He smiled; he laughed; he rolled, crawled and walked on time. At age one he had a massive overload for his little immune system. He had two ear infections, a high fever, back to back treatment of major antibiotics and he was given his MMR, varicella and HIB vaccines while he was still very sick. Christian faded away for the next 6 months.
At age two he was diagnosed with full syndrome Autism. I met an amazing mother who introduced me to the group Talk About Curing Autism. Before I found out about TACA, I had no clue that there was hope for my child. From that day on I knew that it was my job to get my son back and undue what had been done to him.
It has been three years since Christian was diagnosed with Autism. I had taken what I had learned from TACA, found wonderful therapists, began a diet, found a DAN! Doctor, and took control of my child’s health. I heard his first word when he was 38 months old, and let me tell you, it was worth the wait.
Today Christian attends a typical private preschool. He is the only child in the class with a diagnosis…and none of the other parents know that. He speaks clearly, has friends, reads, pretends on the playground and even knows what he wants to be when he grows up (which of course changes weekly).
I can honestly say, if I had not found that mom (you know who you are), and not been introduced to TACA, I don’t know where Christian would be today and I don’t know if I would ever have been able to help other parents starting this journey. Thank you TACA, thank you my hero mom, and thank you Christian for fighting this with me. I love you.
