‼️ It’s autism awareness month and in honor of my son, I want to share this really good information! It’s so important for people to be educated on this and understand and accept!

Here are some facts, from the list, that I want to specifically point out:

“5. A recent study has suggested that the numbers could be closer to 1 in 36 children in the U.S.
11. Autism is more common than childhood cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined
30. It was originally believed that autism was a symptom of bad parenting
37. Autism is a hidden disability. You can’t always see the symptoms.
60. Being nonverbal does not mean a child with autism has a low IQ
61. Some children with autism have cognitive impairments, whereas other children with autism have normal or above-average IQs.
99. Children with autism are 50% more likely to be the target of bullying at school.”
