April 2: World Autism Awareness Day

Mark your calendars... April 2nd is World Autism Awareness Day!

Did you know…

* Autism affects as many as 1 in 150 children and 1 in 94 boys
* Autism is the fastest-growing serious developmental disability in the world
* More children will be diagnosed with autism this year than with diabetes, cancer, & AIDS combined
* Boys are four times more likely than girls to have autism
* There is no medical detection or cure for autism, but early diagnosis and intervention improve outcomes
* Autism does not discriminate by geography, class, or ethnicity

April 2nd is also the kick-off date for our Walk Now for Autism walking group! Last year our team raised nearly $2,000.00 for autism research. This year, we're hoping to raise even more! Info coming soon!
