Caring Causes: World Autism Month

 

For World Autism Month, I had the chance to highlight Febo Health, a toolbox and resource to help with different conditions. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that can affect social, communication, and behavioral challenges. Febo gathered the following info:

• ASD affects 1 in 68 children
• Boys are nearly 5 times more likely than girls to be diagnosed with ASD
• Autism generally appears before the age of 3
• Up to 1/3 of people with ASD also develop seizures disorders
• Hyperlexia commonly accompanies ASD

Supporters can participate in World Autism Month by:

• Taking the pledge to create a world where all people with autism can reach their full potential by increasing understanding and acceptance. You’ll receive free information, resources and tools to engage and advocate in your community and learn the impact of your support through Autism Speaks.
• Join 2.8 million social followers and help foster understanding and acceptance by sharing the diverse stories of people on the spectrum or telling your own. Submit your story for social media pages here.
• Invite colleagues, classroom and friends to join Kindness Campaign and encourage acceptance, understanding and inclusion with daily acts of kindness at school, work or in your community. 
• Make a meaningful, lasting impact for people with autism with your gift. Donate today!
• Learn about all the ways you can fundraise on social media.
• Joined by the international community, hundreds of thousands of landmarks, buildings, homes and communities around the world come together on April 2, World Autism Awareness Day, to Light It Up Blue in recognition of people with autism and those who love and support them.
