Autism Awareness Day

Today is World Autism Awareness Day and I am taking a moment to share with you and raise awareness about Autism which is a brain disorder that often makes it hard to communicate with and relate to others. With autism, the different areas of the brain fail to work together. Most individuals with autism will always have some trouble relating to others. But early diagnosis and treatment have helped more and more people with autism to reach their full potential. In the United States 1 out of 150 children is diagnosed with some form of Autism. While research is being done to help treat and prevent Autism many parents and concerned citizens are trying to raise awareness of this disease. My seven year old son Brice was diagnosed with Autism Specrtum Disorder, which is a form of Autism. He is a highly functioning child and lives a very normal life, but like most children with Autism or ASD, he has struggles and difficulties. Please take time today and remember all the many children in the world who are struggling with this disease and pray for them and their families. God bless you.
