1 in 150 children are diagnosed with AUTISM, boys are 4 times more likely to be affected so that means, 1 in 94 boys are diagnosed with AUTISM! A child is diagnosed with Autism every 20 minutes. If you don't know someone with AUTISM now, you soon will.

Help Support Autism Awareness

I am selling Autism Awareness products at www.zazzle.com/autismmom11

I have buttons and bags with autism logos and information. They are also very cute!

I have also designed stickers for autistic children/adults to wear. For example..."Please be patient with me, I have Autism." I have found that when my son wears them and has a melt down, people are a little bit more understanding. I hope they help your family too!

Autism is the fastest-growing developmental disability in the United States.

Autism is more prevalent among children than juvenile diabetes, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis or childhood cancer.

In 2005, the Centers for Disease Control declared that Autism was at epidemic proportions.

More than a disorder, Autism is a national health crisis affecting at least one million Americans and costing the country more than $90 billion annually.
