All hail the power of social media. Yesterday, Emma Stone and her boyfriend, Andrew Garfield, were photographed with signs asking the paparazzi to focus on organizations making a difference in the world—Youth Mentoring, Worldwide Orphans, Gilda's Club, and Autism Speaks—rather than on their celebrity, and their message went viral. Last night, a representative from Pieceful Solutions, an Arizona school for children with autism spectrum disorders, sent BAZAAR.com a photo of third-grader Liam thanking Stone, an Arizona native, for raising awareness about the disorder. See the heartwarming picture below, then head to Autism Speaks to see how you can make a difference.
