Mark your calendars... April 2nd is World Autism Awareness Day

Did you know…

  • Autism affects as many as 1 in 150 children and 1 in 94 boys (see this FAQ for more)
  • Autism is the fastest-growing serious developmental disability in the world
  • More children will be diagnosed with autism this year than with diabetes, cancer, & AIDS combined
  • Boys are four times more likely than girls to have autism
  • There is no medical detection or cure for autism, but early diagnosis and intervention improve outcomes
  • Autism does not discriminate by geography, class, or ethnicity

We've prepared a brochure on autism including the warning signs to help you learn more.


We invite you to join the Walk on the Web in celebration of World Autism Awareness Day.
