The Bottom Line Please help me raise awareness for Autism this April.
Hi Everyone! I've done this in the past and I'll do it again! April is National Autism Awareness month. It used to be just Autism Awareness Month. But now its been nationally recognized. With the growing number of children diagnosed it is, in a word - an epidemic. 1 in 150 children are diagnosed with some form of autism. My child is one of them. Who do you know? Or maybe, its looking more like.. who don't you know that is affected by autism in one way or another? In efforts to help spread awareness, I'm inviting all Epinions members to join me this month (April 2007) to write about Autism. Also, specifically April 20th is the 4th annual Blow Bubbles for Autism Day Each bubble will create awareness and be a wish of hope to families of autism Please write about bubble related items on and around the 20th. for more info The topics are everywhere and in just about every category. You don't have to be a parent to join in on the efforts to spread awareness. Everyone who writes, can help. Here's some category "food for thought": -Kids and Family toys that are therapeutic or developmental -Books about Autism and related spectrum disorders like Aspergers, PDD-NOS, Speech -Health supplements -Puzzles (the puzzle piece is the symbol used in Autism Awareness because it represents the complexity of Autism. We are putting together the pieces, one child at a time). -Writers corner editorials -Children with Disabilities Advice -Special Education Advice ..and more.
