	News: Professor welcomes 'song for autism'
	Posted by sylvia on Monday, July 16, 2007 (12:23:35) 24dash.com Professor Simon Baron Cohen of the Autism Research Centre in Cambridge University has welcomed the news that the song for autism is to be released in London. The cover of 'Open Every Door', was sung by Rosagy, a musician who has Asperger's Syndrome. Professor Simon Baron Cohen said: "I am delighted that Rosa's beautiful version of the song "Open Every Door" will be used to fundraise for autism research. "It is the energy and idealism of people like Rosa that inspires people to do whatever they can to make the world a better place for people with autism," he said. Ivan Corea who heads the Autism Awareness Campaign UK said: "I am delighted that Rosa is covering the Nimal Mendis song for autism 'Open Every Door'. I know it will go a long way in raising awareness about autism and I would urge music lovers all over the world to support the song." 'Open Every Door' was written by Asian superstar, the Sri Lanka-born singer/songwriter Nimal Mendis who lives in the UK. Mendis dedicated the song to a 11 year old boy with autism, Charin Corea who is the son of autism campaigners Ivan and Charika Corea. Charin was the inspiration behind his parents campaign - they set up the Autism Awareness Campaign UK in 2000 and have been lobbying for better public services for all people with autism and Asperger's Syndrome. Ivan Corea recently met with Gordon Brown on the campaign trail and asked him a question on autism. Mr. Brown conceded that the Government needs to do more for all children with disabilities. The Autism Awareness Campaign UK has urged Prime Minister Gordon Brown to provide all children with autism and Asperger's Syndrome with a 'world class education' and specialist education facilities. Rosagy who is a mother with a child, who has also been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, hopes to raise funds for Professor Simon Baron Cohen's Autism Research Centre through the song 'Open Every Door.'
