About Me


Hello! I hope that information I put on this page spreads the awareness of Autism and helps other families by providing support and information about available resources in their community. I think that by increasing autism awareness hopefully will increase the availability of early intervention services and treatments to all families regardless of income, through fundraising efforts and community involvement. Please help spread the word by adding the Autism Ribbon to your page. At the rate of 1 out of every 150 births there is Autism. More than half of the 150 are boys. 3 Children are diagnosed with Autism every hour. Many Children are not diagnosed with Autism until the ages of 2 or 3. Since everyone with Autism is completely different, some things in my blogs may be right for some and not for others. I just wanted to put all information that I find out in the open because even if I don’t agree with a certain type of treatment, I would not want to ignore posting valuable information of a treatment that might help another. The information that I post in my blogs are from several different web sites. If you have not already, Please Click Here to visit “Autism Canada” and add yourself! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ADDING THIS PAGE AND SHOWING YOUR SUPPORT!
