Autism Awareness Month

April is Autism Awareness Month! And today is World Autism Awareness Day!

The Autism Society of American lists 8 ways you can help raise awareness during the month of April. Click here to look at this list. My personal favorite is "Get bouncing! After a successful first year, ASA and inflatable playground franchise Pump It Up are bouncing again with “Bounce for Autism” - a nationwide, community-based fundraising event that combines family fun with raising awareness and support for autism in locations that welcome children on the autism spectrum. "
