Welcome to our Autism Awareness Online site.  I hope this can become your resource or tool in your search to find out more about autism.  Our family is blessed with our 8 year old autistic daughter. We can all work together to find the missing puzzle piece to autism.

You may be visiting our site or many different reasons.  You may be a parent or a family member of an autistic child, a autism educator, or maybe just someone who is interested in learning more about autism or finding answers to your questions on autism.  This site was designed and started because of our beautiful autistic daughter.  She is interwoven throughout the entire site.  Most of us know that autism has now grown to a rate of 1 out of 166.  Just released in February 2007, that statistic has now grown to be 1 out of 150 children are now diagnosed with autism and 80% of all autistic people are under the age of 18.  When I read that the other day about the percentage of autistic people that are under the age of 18 I was completely shocked (I think my jaw dropped to the floor, LOL).  But on a serious note, I think that is simply staggering and it makes me wonder
 "Why?".  By now it seems like if you do not have someone in your family who has an autistic child that you know someone who does.  Is it our environment, mercury, toxins, or maybe something else that still has to be researched.  But I say, we are all in this together to help find that missing puzzle piece.  The rate autism is growing they are now saying that within 7 years it will be 1 out of every 7 young families that will have an autistic child in it. Lets find that puzzle piece everyone.
