Affirmation for April 4, 2011: National Autism Awareness Month

Autism is not something I have. It is integral to who I am. Eliminate the autism, and you eliminate me. - Parrish S. KnightThought of the day:April is Autism Awareness Month, and today's quote celebrates the unique personalities of those born with autism. Children, adults, and parents who have autism in their lives face great challenges, but we can help alleviate the ones that come from societal prejudice. Every family experiences autism differently, and recognizing the needs of autistic people rather than imposing norms on them can improve quality of life.If you have a story about autism that you'd like to share this month, please send a PM to jessica.Have a wonderful Spring day!TeamDS
