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
Please go to the Autism Speaks website to learn more about their organization and all that they do!
I have a badge on my sidebar which raises money for Autism Speaks, a charity near and dear to me. Won't you help? If you make a {tax deductible} donation this month (Autism Awareness Month) just leave me a comment to let me know. I will choose one generous giver on May 1st to receive a beautiful custom made photo pillow from yours truly!
Thanks from the bottom of my heart!

I am so glad you posted this. I knew this about 2 APR, and I knew you knew too. I have been in 3rd grade and went to HS today. I'll tell ya about it later. BTW, do you know the stores in Idaho Falls to visit? I can't seem to get ahold of Jann N. I miss ya. I'll call FRI ~ my day off.
