The National Center for Disease Control & Prevention’s most recent data indicate that about one in 36 children in the U.S. have been identified with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and that ASD is reported to occur in all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups.
April is Autism Awareness Month. We invite you to join us and “Light It Up Blue” and wear blue throughout April. If you share photos on social media, you can @tag Spurwink – we’d love to see your photos!
