As April showers us with spring sunshine, we’re also celebrating a very important cause: Autism Awareness Month. We’d like to take a moment to celebrate the unique strengths and experiences of autistic individuals and their families. This month, we want to join hands with all of you to raise awareness, spread acceptance, and celebrate the amazing individuals and families living with ASD.
Let’s Talk About Autism
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a way of thinking and learning that can affect how someone communicates, interacts with others, and experiences the world around them. Everyone with ASD is unique, and their experiences can vary greatly. The most important thing to remember is that everyone with ASD deserves our understanding and support.
Here are some Autism Facts to Keep in Mind:
- Early Intervention is a Superhero! The sooner someone with ASD gets the help they need, the better their chances of thriving. If you have any concerns about your child’s development, talk to your doctor – they can help! https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/index.html
- Sometimes there are other things going on too. People with ASD can sometimes experience other health conditions alongside it. This is why it’s important to work with a healthcare team to provide the best possible care. https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/autism-spectrum-disorders-asd
- Routines are our friends! Many people with ASD feel most comfortable when they know what to expect. Sticking to routines can help reduce anxiety and create a sense of security. predictability is a superpower! ✨ https://www.autismspeaks.org/
Science is always on the case! Researchers are constantly learning more about ASD, and this is leading to new and exciting ways to help people. By supporting research efforts, we can make a real difference in the lives of those affected by ASD. https://autismsciencefoundation.org/
