Coming soon to a neighborhood near you...AUTISM.
Autism affects 1 in 150 kids. These kids are not bad, stupid, or spoiled, they have Autism. "Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder that typically lasts throughout a person's lifetime. It is part of a group of disorders known as autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Today, 1 in 150 individuals is diagnosed with autism, making it more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined. It occurs in all racial, ethnic, and social groups and is four times more likely to strike boys than girls. Autism impairs a person's ability to communicate and relate to others. It is also associated with rigid routines and repetitive behaviors, such as obsessively arranging objects or following very specific routines. Symptoms can range from very mild to quite severe."~AutismSpeaks.OrgWith a little effort from YOU, we can help the kids and families affected by this every year. We can better understnad Autism.

I have got to thank you for doing this. I have a son with autism so seeing someone go out of their way to do some good means so much to me.
