National Autism Awareness Month

The month of April has been designated as "National Autism Awareness Month", and Saturday, April 2nd has been declared "World Autism Awareness Day."

Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life and among other things, can affect a person's ability to communicate and interact with others.

Although great strides have been made in understanding and supporting children and adults who have autism, there's much more to be done.
