April is National Autism Awareness Month – National Autism Awareness day was April 2nd. Articles were published this week to help raise awareness for autism spectrum disorders.
HuffPost Parents highlighted that one in every 68 children is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, and parents of autistic children described what autism is (and is not) based on their unique experiences. An article by Ellen Seidman conveyed how autism parents feel about studies on the causes of and advances in treating autism.
Reading articles about autism got me thinking about how we as a society can help people with autism and their families (assuming they want it), and what our focus should be. I want to hear thoughts on this topic!
Bringing autism spectrum disorders to the forefront of discussions is important, even if it is difficult to talk about. Families should be commended for sharing their experiences. Let’s not hide these conversations and take action to help in any way we can!
Sleep is so important but the optimal amount is different for each family member.
