Autism Awareness Month

It's Autism Awareness Month - Light it up Blue! And, as most of you may know, I have a son with autism. 




I did a full month on autism a couple of years ago that I'd like to share with you again today. I bet that most of you know of someone that has autism. The statistics are staggering - the rate of autism is continuing to go higher and higher. 1 in 88 children are diagnosed. When my son was diagnosed, just 11 years ago, it was 1 in 500! Can you believe how much it has changed in 11 years?



Here are a few posts you may want to read:

Autism: How Organizing Can Help

Autism: What YOU Can Do




Please leave a comment if you know of someone - a family member, friend, or even a friend of a friend, who has autism. How has affected you or your family?
