Autism Acceptance Month

“The most interesting people you’ll find are ones that don’t fit into your average cardboard box. They’ll make what they need, they’ll make their own boxes.” - Dr. Temple Grandin

Autism Acceptance Month

Hi there! I wanted to let you know that April is Autism Acceptance Month.

Recently, the CDC released a report stating that the number of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder is quite high, with 1 in 36 children being affected. Here’s a link to the CDC Website. While we have made progress in research and clinical care, there is still much we don’t know about autism.

I understand that as a parent or caregiver, it can be overwhelming to navigate the abundance of conflicting information surrounding autism diagnosis and treatment. That’s why I’d like to share my experiences and insights to help make things a little easier for those caring for children with autism.

I’ll be sharing commentary on the latest research and resources, as well as highlighting community events related to autism. I strongly encourage you to join in on the conversation by sharing your own experiences and insights.

Together, we can work towards a better understanding of autism and improve the lives of those affected by it.

This month, let’s celebrate the uniqueness of our children and look toward a brighter future with a smile!
