National Autism Awareness Month 2013

Since im going to be a special ed teacher and we are currently in The National Autism Awareness Month for 2013, I decided to blog about it.

 

Monday, April 1

and ends on

Tuesday, April 30

But to some it never ends.

My cousin has autism and strugles with it everyday. I wish to be a special ed teacher to help people like my
cousin and others to make it in this world.

Heres a little video if you wish to watch it wasa donated to Autism Speaks Autism Tissue Program involved

Thanks to post-mortem donations, Autism Speaks Autism Tissue Program was able to provide the Stanford University researchers with the brain tissue of an individual affected by autism. Using it, they traced the paths of individual nerve cells and their connections

In order to highlight the growing need for concern and awareness about autism, the Autism Society has been celebrating National Autism Awareness Month since the 1970s. The United States recognizes April as a special opportunity for everyone to educate the public about autism and issues within the autism community.
The Autism Awareness Puzzle Ribbon is the most recognized symbol of the autism community in the world. Autism prevalence is now one in every 88 children in America. Show your support for people with autism by wearing the Autism Awareness Puzzle Ribbon – as a pin on your shirt, a magnet on your car, a badge on your blog, or even your Facebook profile picture - and educate folks on the potential of people with autism!
