World Autism Awareness Day
I'm back from my week of insanity and have a few things to post about, but most importantly today is World Autism Awareness Day.
What is Autism?
Having a child with autism means your life is never your own ever again. And I wouldn't change it for the world. I'm proud of my son, of who he is, of who he is becoming. I want him to have the tools to deal with having autism but never take away what it is that makes him wonderfully unique: his sense of humour, his joie de vivre, his fascinating way of looking at the world.
Did you know: An estimated 1 out of 54 boys and 1 in 252 girls are diagnosed with autism in the United States. (The numbers are very similar in Canada, though no recent Canadian stats are available)
24 facts about Autism
