President Barak Obama issued a proclamation today and encouraged
Americans “to learn more about autism and what they can do to support
individuals on the autism spectrum and their families.”
The
latest news from the CDC is that 1 in 88 American third-grade children has
autism spectrum disorder.
Here’s
what you can do:
- Write to your Congress member to ask
for increased funding for autism research
- If you have a young child, make sure
to get him/her evaluated for developmental disabilities
- Donate to Autism Speaks
- If you know a family impacted by autism, offer your support
- Today
and all during the month of April, light it up blue
