I'm so very thankful that my son does not have Autism. However, one in 88 American children has an autism spectrum disorder. Studies show that autism is 3-4x more common among boys than girls. An estimated 1 out of 54 boys and 1 in 252 girls are diagnosed with autism in the United States.
From shining blue lights in iconic landmarks, to raising money to find a cure, World Autism Awareness Day gives advocates the opportunity to highlight the progress that's been made and the critical work that still needs to be done in order to improve the lives of those living with autism.
