Did you know that every 20 minutes another child is diagnosed with autism? This has occurred in my family.
For those of you who don't know my grandma (yes GRANDMA) adopted a boy with autism. He is four years old. He was my cousin's son but my grandma ended up with him. She left her home in Utah and moved out to California to get him the kind of education that he needs. Since he has been there he has been doing much better.
I am walking in the fight against autism at Walk Now for Autism Speaks, joining tens of thousands of other people united by a single cause and dedicated to raising money to find a cure and build awareness for autism. The money raised at Walk Now for Autism supports Autism Speaks mission to finding the causes, effective treatments and a cure for autism through funding essential biomedical research. One in every 150 children is diagnosed with autism. Autism Speaks directs 75¢ out of every dollar raised to autism research, awareness and outreach.
