Arrhythmia
Queen-Size Hottie!
My dear fellow Dims,
I feel it is my duty to either inform or remind everyone that April is Autism Awareness Month.
I am not only the Founder/Executive Director of a nonprofit for children with Autism, but most importantly, I am the mother of an awesome 10 year old boy who has Autism. Here's his picture below. His name is Emilio (I always call him "Mamma's Man") and he is the love of my life!
Since this month has been set aside to observe Autism, I'd like to leave you with two facts:
Fact #1 - The CDC (Center for Disease Control) now states that their previous finding were incorrect. Autism does not affect 1 in 166 births as what they once thought. They have now discovered it effects 1 in 150 births. That means approximately 1.5 million Americans have some form of Autism!
Fact #2 - Autism is 4 times more prevalent in males than in females
I could go on and on, but I won't. I love to talk about this Spectrum Disorder -- how it has changed my life and how my son and I together have changed many others.
If you'd like to know more about Autism, may I suggest these two websites?:
Autism Society of America
http://www.autism-society.org
Center for Disease Control
http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/
Also, if you'd like to chat about Autism or anything else for that matter, drop me a line.
BTW, I think my son may be an FA -- he likes to squeeze ladies upper arms, but only those who have lots of "meat" hanging there.
Ciao 4 Now!
