On Autism
Why do I blog about Autism? It’s because I’m a parent of a child with autism.
One in every 150 child is diagnosed with autism and every 20 minutes there is a child diagnosed with autism. But this was the statistics two years ago, now there is 1:69 and the number is growing. Out of 10 children with autism only one is likely to be female. My daughter is one of the uncommon cases.
I got those knowing looks and rude judgment on how my daughter got autism but none of them were right.
April 2 is World Autism Awareness Day as proclaimed by UN in December 2007. April is also the Autism Awareness Month. I dedicate a lot of space here in my blog to spread the word about autism. Autism can affect anyone regardless of race, religion, socio-economic status or geography.
I hope all my posts helps.
Here are my posts about autism.
I also made a separate blog about autism Surviving Autism:
