April is Autism Awareness Month. You will notice the blue puzzle piece representing autism all around you.  The puzzle piece is used to indicate that autism is a puzzling disorder. No one yet knows what causes autism, but researchers are hard at work trying to fill in the missing puzzle piece.

Autism is the fasting growing diagnosis among children.  More children are diagnosed with autism each year than with diabetes, AIDS, and cancer together.

A child is diagnosed with autism every 20 minutes in America. 1 in 110 children will be diagnosed with autism which affects boys more often than girls.

If you have a chance, please donate to autism research through Autism Speaks or the Autism Society of America.  www.autismspeaks.org  www.autism-society.org
