Most people either have someone in their family who has an autistic child or knows someone who does. Recent studies show Autism is the fastest growing developmental disability in the U.S. Autism is a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication, and behavioral challenges. A serious issue is early diagnosing.
It is mistaken as mental retardation or in many cases it’s seen as a child is “slow” and they will say he will eventually “catch up”. Our loved ones can be negatively affected throughout their lifespan if disparities in early diagnosis and treatment, health, special education and the criminal justice system are allowed to persist. It’s critical we learn more and take a stand on this important issue on their behalf. ********
