Yesterday, began Autism Awareness Month and today April 2nd, marks World Autism Awareness Day.   Even though there is so much going on around the globe, we must continue to make our society cognizant of Autism and how families are dealing with the disorder.  This information not only assists our communities in understanding Autism but also helps families who believe their child may have ASD or assist parents that have a newly diagnosed child.

One of the essential tasks we have as parents and caregivers who care for anyone with ASD is to always be the beacon of light and hope for them. We must let our children know that they can achieve goals and are essential to our communities.  When we give them as many tools to succeed, they can feel confident as they move forward in all endeavors.

Also, as we continue to spread the knowledge about Autism this month, let us remember to support and uplift all those that help us on this journey with our children.  We are a village, and no one should ever walk this road alone.

Please check out the resource page for information that can assist families dealing with ASD.  Also, many organizations such as TACA (The Autism Community in Action) and ARI (Autism Research Institute) have wonderful webinars being offered this month.
