During April 2016, in honor of Autism Awareness Month, Chamilia (www.chamilia.com), a Swarovski Company, announced that it will continue to support its program to donate five percent of proceeds from its “Autism Puzzle Piece” charm to the Autism Research Institute. The brand became interested in supporting these efforts after learning that in 2012 the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) announced that one in 68 people under the age of 21 living in the U.S. has been identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This number continues to increase, as a more recent CDC National Health Interview Survey suggests that 1 in 45 children, ages 3 through 17, now have been diagnosed with ASD.
The “Autism Puzzle Piece” charm from Chamilia is a sterling silver representation of a piece from a puzzle and retails for $35. The charm symbolizes the need to develop a greater understanding of the condition of autism and its impact on our society.
The Chamilia “Autism Puzzle Piece” charm will be available at the brand’s nearly 2,000 retail partners worldwide and on the Chamilia website, www.chamilia.com.
