RP: Autism Awareness Day

April 2nd is Autism Awareness Day. Please take a moment to educate yourself about this condition that now affects 1 out of every 150 children. That number also includes my ALMOST seven year old nephew Carlton, so if you get a moment today please say a prayer for him and all the other children who struggle with this every single day!!!

I work with many children with autism (I'm an SLP), so I'll pray for him and all of my other kids!

If you ever need to talk, feel free to FM me!

my little nephew just got diagnosed with autism on Monday.
i know there are tons of treatments but it still stinks

I work with students with autism. We celebrated the day with a community outing .

Thank you so much for the info. My cousin's two children have it as well. Its so sad. My heart goes out to these children and their parents
