April is National Autism Awareness Month. National Autism Awareness Month (NAAM)was established in 1972 by the Autism Society of America to help promote awareness about Autism Spectrum Disorders. The Autism Society of America (ASA) is gearing up for this year’s NAAM working with over 200 chapters across the United States.
- Discover Magazine’s April issue will feature a cover story on autism.
- Autism will be featured in articles in Reader’s Digest, People, and Working Mother magazines.
- The ASA has launched a “Hometown Heroes” campaign honoring first responders who help keep our families safe.
- ASA’s Board of Directors will be meeting with members of Congress on March 23, 2007. This meeting is dubbed “A Day On The Hill” and will be used to ask for fiscal year 2008 appropriations.
More information about events sponsored by the national ASA can be found in their press release. In addition to the national efforts, local chapters will also be hosting events. Find your local ASA Chapter.
