April is Autism Acceptance Month
April used to be called Autism Awareness month. This has been changed because most people are aware that some people have Autism, but thinking needs to change to state that people with Autism need and want to be accepted, included, and connected to all.
Autism is a developmental disability. According to the Centers for Disease Control, Autism affects an estimated 1 in 36 children, and 1 in 45 adults in the United States today. People with autism, also called autism spectrum disorder (ASD), have differences in the way their brains develop and process information. As a result, they face communication, social, and behavior challenges.
Autism is a lifelong condition. Early intervention and therapies can make a big difference in a person’s skills and outcomes later in life. Each person has challenges, and these challenges may be different from individual to individual.
