➸ Autism can now be considered an EPIDEMIC

This really hits home for me. The last data showed 1 out of 110 children in the US who were diagnosed with autism and now CDC has estimated 1 out of every 88 children with autism. Autism can now be considered an epidemic! Take time to read the article and become aware of the increasing numbers and educate yourself.

If you have time, please donate to my fundraising website at http://www.walknowforautismspeaks.org/losangeles/jodikunibeAll proceeds will go to the Walk Now for Autism Speaks event on April 21 to help raise money for awareness, research, and most importantly a cure. It’s tax deductible and will help make a difference in the lives of children with autism and their families.

My kiddo’s make me smile everyday and I want to be able to give back to them by asking everyone to donate or spread the word. Thank you :)

Lol….just…..fuck this week.

AND YET ANOTHER AWARENESS BINGO IS WON.

IT’S NOT EVEN APRIL YET DAMN!

A guy I know pointed out that in the places with the highest prevalence, the proportion of people with high IQs is higher. Meaning people who (despite virtually all of Kanner’s original patients having normal to high IQs) traditionally get skipped over for diagnosis. Will any of these people actually notice or care? No of course not. That would require thinking.
