APRIL IS AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH
April is Autism Awareness Month, when the autism community makes a collective effort to bring public attention to the autism epidemic. With the rising rate of incidence, autism has become a national concern. Cure Autism Now will be highlighting autism awareness through media outreach, corporate partnerships and special events. We’ve collected some ideas on how you can help promote awareness and understanding while sharing Cure Autism Now’s message of hope.
According to Centers for Disease Control statistics, autism now affects as many as one in every 166 children born in the United States. Autism is the fastest-growing developmental disability in the United States. A child is diagnosed with autism every 20 minutes. That’s why we say that if you don’t know someone with autism, you will soon.
