Jordan’s Story APRIL IS... What is Autism? Many of us have heard of autism but few really know what it is. According to www. autismspeaks.org, “Autism spectrum disorder and Autism are both terms for a group of complex disorders of brain development. These disorders are characterized, in varying degrees, by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors.” Autism most commonly emerges between ages two and three and about 1 in 68 children is diagnosed with autism. April is Autism Awareness Month Several years ago, the Autism Society launched a nationwide effort to promote autism awareness and April became Autism Awareness Month. Autism Awareness Month represents an opportunity to promote autism awareness, acceptance and recognition of the disorder.
