autism awareness

Today is National Autism Awareness Day, but to some of us, this is every day. However, I always wear blue on this day in support of my daughter who has autism, along with a long list of other spectrum related disorders.

For the past few years, there has been a controversy going around on Autism Speaks. Whether you support them or not, I believe you should spread the awareness on autism itself. Become a voice for someone who has autism. Educate yourself and spread awareness.

Fact: 1 out of 59 kids are diagnosed with autism. There is NO cure. However, there should be acceptance and not ignorance.

Today I’m starting my ‘Blogging from A to Z challenge’ with the letter A.

Some of you may already know that April is Autism Awareness Month and that April 2nd is National Autism Day; Everyone is encouraged to light it up blue to help spread awareness of Autism. I’m sharing this information in honor of my daughter, who has Autism. It has been a difficult and trying four years, but I would not go back and change a thing. I am thankful God has blessed me with my daughter, as He knows that I am not afraid to use my voice, to speak out for those who can’t.
