My Daughter who has Autism is an inspiration to me, because she has taught me to be a better parent and to get to know her in so many ways. I have learned so much about what an Autism Spectrum Disorder is through my daughter's daily routine and challenges with Autism. She's my life and my inspiration, my hope and a hero. She encouraged me to write a resource book about her to share with other people to better understand about Autism. God Bless!!!

ASD More Common says new study in Korea
A new study of Autism prevalence is gaining international headlines. Study shows 1 in 38 children, that's 2.64%, of kids they studied had Autism Spectrum Disorder ASD. They also found more than two-thirds of ASD cases in the mainstream school population unrecognized and untreated. This leads them to believe Autism prevalence estimates worldwide could increase when a comprehensive approach in used to identify children with ASD. Currently, ASD is diagnosed in one in 110 children in the United States, specifically one in 70 boys. Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder that inhibits a persons ability to communicate develop social relationships, and is often accompanied by behavioral challenges. The prevalence of Autism has increased 600 percent in the past two decades. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls Autism a national public health crisis-the cause and cure unknown.
