Our mission
is to increase and broaden public knowledge and awareness of the behaviors,
social issues and emotional needs of individuals on the autism spectrum so
that all individuals can participate in and contribute to our community
without fear or bias or loss of individuality.
Autism is a
developmental disorder that strikes children some time in the first three
years of life and impacts the normal development of the brain in areas of
cognition, social interaction and communication skills. Each child is
affected differently and to varying degrees. According to recent studies, as
many as 1 in every 500 children born today will be on the autistic spectrum.
Autism is now the third most common developmental disorder -- more common
than Down syndrome, multiple sclerosis or cystic fibrosis. There is no
known, proven cure for Autism. Though various treatments may provide some
children with relative relief, current research is limited due to lack of
available funds.
