Each year there are a growing number of children with Autism diagnosed in this country. In fact, recent findings have stated that 1 in 68 children are now diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum. That is an increase from just a couple years ago of 1 and 88 children.

There are many reasons why children are being diagnosed more and more with Autism. People are definitely much more aware of Autism then they were just a few years ago.

April is also Autism Awareness month. I wanted to gather some resources and ideas for parents of children with Autism to help spread awareness this month. Below you will find resources that I have written here on the blog, along with many others from other blogging friends.
