Hello;

So today, April 2nd, is Autism Awareness Day which kicks off Autism Awareness Month. Tonight we are lighting up our blue porch light and trying to let everyone know that autism is a reality today and increasing. The newest stats for the U.S.A. is 1 in 88 children will be diagnosed. Hopefully more people will learn to understand and sympathize with the challenges autistic children and adults face, but also realize how much they can achieve if given the opportunity. SO see what is happening in your area to raise awareness for yourself, your friends, or families with autism this month and every other day of the year:)

    We are going on an Adventure Weekend ( all have someone in their family with Autism). It's aimed at
    trying new things, Workshops and stepping out of your comfort zone and also a Fun Run at the end
    of the month. So Fun times in April and raising some badly needed cash too !!!
