1 in every 68 children is diagnosed with Autism every year. That’s more than are diagnosed with childhood cancer, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, AIDS and Down Syndrome. It is now second only to mental retardation in prevalence, and needs our attention!
I am beyond excited to be lifting up the incredibly worthy cause of Autism this April! My friend Ginger Scott and I started talking about doing something fun and meaningful for Autism Awareness months ago. I, as many of you know, have a son on the severe end of the autism spectrum. He was diagnosed 12 years ago when he was 2 years old. Seven years ago, I started and still run a foundation for families in Georgia living with Autism. Ginger has a nephew on the spectrum, and volunteers with an autism organization in her home state of Arizona.
We have recruited 50 other authors to help spread the word. Some of these authors are Warrior Mamas like me. Some of them have relatives or friends touched by Autism. Some of them just want to do their part to lift the cause. ALL of them are amazing!
T-SHIRTS! We also have a tee spring campaign! We’d love people from all over posting pics of themselves in their LIFT t-shirts to raise awareness! Click HERE to order until April 13. All profits go to organizations serving ASD families.
