My wife works everyday with children affected by autism. These children are so alive, so full of beauty, yet often times so misunderstood.
When I asked her what her TB should do, she simply wanted people to be a little more aware of this disorder and the many misunderstandings about it, as well as those affected by it.
Today, 1 in 150 individuals is diagnosed with autism, making it more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined. It occurs in all racial, ethnic, and social groups and is four times more likely to strike boys than girls. Autism impairs a person's ability to communicate and relate to others. It is also associated with rigid routines and repetitive behaviors, such as obsessively arranging objects or following very specific routines. Symptoms can range from very mild to quite severe.
