April is Autism Awareness Month

Everyone Knows Someone with Autism
 
The most recent statistic from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention states that 1 in 110
children have Autism.   That staggering statistic emphasizes how important it is that the Central Illinois Community becomes aware of the difficulties of living with Autism.  The Autism Society of McLean County provides imperative programming to people of all ages living with Autism and families whose lives are affected by Autism.
 
April is Autism Awareness month and the Autism Society of McLean County (ASMC) has planned a month packed 
full of events to raise awareness about Autism.  Two highlights of this year’s Autism Awareness month are the 
Autism Golf Outing and the Autism Sky Dive, both making their first appearance in this year’s activities.
