April's Autism Awareness Month. The reality of autism is often misunderstood, but with a little effort, sharing info can help change those perceptions & persist in helping others to better understand. So we've devoted time to share info, resources, & re-share the case of missing autistic child, Jason Sims Jr. from Ep 23. Below are links & resources that we hope are in keeping with the spirit of the month & may even help someone struggling with the challenges of, or prevent someone from being taken advantage of because of, their autism or similar conditions. April's also Child Abuse Prevention Month which ties in with our vulnerable communities. So we will share some links regarding this also.
