It has been reported that autism affects approximately 1 in 44 children in the United States and it impacts all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. Holly Robinson Peete’s son, RJ, was diagnosed with autism at age 3. Her journey with RJ empowered her to take an active role in advocating for people with autism. In her new book, Charlie Makes A Splash, which she co-wrote with RJ, Holly and RJ share awareness about autism with other kids who have been touched by it in some way. Holly is an actress, singer and activist. She is known for her roles on 21 Jump Street, Hangin' with Mr. Cooper, and For Your Love. She also served as one of the original co-hosts of the CBS Daytime talk show, The Talk. Holly’s children's book, My Brother Charlie, won her an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work in March 2011, and in 2012 the book was awarded the Dolly Gray Children's Literature Award.
