I just want to let everyone know that April is Autism Awareness Month. There are many autism websites that inform and support so check them out. World Autism Awareness Day is April 2nd. Today, 1 in 150 individuals is diagnosed with autism, making it more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined. Source - www.autismspeaks.com
