Today is Autism Awareness Day. It is the very first one. I am so thrilled about the increasing awareness of autism in our country. Spencer, our 6 year old, is on the autism spectrum. He is on the high functioning side of autism which we are so thankful for. So many families have children, even multiple children that are autistic. Some cases are very severe as well. If you study the increase of reported cases by the CDC since the late 80’s…even 90’s is staggering. Here are some links if you’re not sure what autism is or would just like more info.
