Today, April 2, is Autism Awareness Day. A day when we continue to offer support and spread awareness about this disorder that impacts 1 in 66 children. My guess is this ‘spectrum disorder’ impacts all of us to some degree – child, friend, niece or nephew. To show your support, splash a little BLUE in to your wardrobe. Share this information on Facebook and Twitter using in the hashtag #LIUB (Light It Up Blue)
These children, and adults alike, need so much support but more important they need UNDERSTANDING from society. This affliction is a very confusing landscape and, as a parent of a child that is severely impacted, I pray that people always simply treat him as they would treat anyone else they encounter.
Much appreciated…
