Some Autism Facts:
Autism now affects 1 in 68 children and 1 in 42 boys
Autism prevalence figures are growing
Boys are nearly five times more likely than girls to have autism
Just a little anekdote :
One of my best friends has a son who has a form of autism as there are many different kinds. As he is a little younger then my Amber they grew up together so they are pretty used to each other . Where the son needs somethimes different instruction or handling it is funny to see how children themselves work with that . Where others would be carefull or use different kind of words my girl will just calls him out on his behaviour and funny enough he is perfectly fine with that or she will just ignore it and go on like nothing happened or is different .
His mum and me smile when we see that happen from when they were young till now that they are 13 and 12

Thank you for sharing Dani. I know several people who have children with autism and it’s amazing the things they can do. I think we need to focus more on what they can do and less on what they can’t.
Thank you for sharing these facts and the story of your daughter and her friend.
Thank you for the informative post and for sharing that anecdote with us. Every individual has their own way of working through things. Some may take more time (or less) than other but that kind of makes up their character (or at least that’s what I think). It makes them who they are.
Thank you for the post and the anekdote! I don’t have any relative, friend or acquaintance with autism but any information that can make others understand it better is a good thing.
The spectrum of autism is so complex, so the increased awareness is really important!
I have a friend who’s got a son with a mental disability. It’s not autism, but it is a very similar one. He’s a sweet boy with a great personality, and an amazing way of thinking… We all love him to bits.
Thank you for supporting the project. It is important to shed light over this topic, so that ignorance changes into awareness and understanding.
Thank you for your post. I think autism is very misunderstood. Depending on where children fall on the autism spectrum they are often perceived as unintelligent or rude. Nothing could be further from the truth.
My middle child is autistic, and life can be so wonderful, but also so very hard. Improved awareness for everyone would make our everyday stuff so much easier. Some people judge my son and my parenting without having any idea what he and I must deal with every day, just to survive. Thanks for sharing x
Thanks for sharing and bringing more awareness to Autism. It’s good that it’s recognized as having many different types.
Thank you for participating in this autism awareness blog!
As a mother of a son who is multiple disabled because of brain damage due to premature birt and who has also autism. i know how important awareness is. There are so many people who don’t know a thing about autism and i’m hoping that by visiting this blog (tour) they will learn a bit more about it.
you are very welcome . I think it is important to get the word out , there is still so much to learn 🙂
Congrats Jbst !
