On Autism News Today

Update #2 · Mar 29, 2012 · comment

We're almost there! We want to to thank all of our donors for their great work in pushing this project forward.

Today, it was announced that the rate for autism has gone up to 1 in 88 children born today, and 1 in 56 boys. While we know about 50% is due to better diagnosis, the other 50% is unknown to most though there are many theories.

For our part, we truly believe that what this signifies is not the need for more research, but the need for more services, support, and love for our families we work and see every day. That is the message of our film, and we hope you join us on World Autism Day on April 2nd in telling the world that we no longer need just awareness of autism, but also of the families and individuals celebrations and challenges with which every day we can participate.

Thanks everyone, and let's push on to $20,000 for April.
