As April kicks off, many of our instructors, attendees, and team members are focused on Autism awareness.\u00a0 This month we’ll be sharing stories of Autism, impacts of the Autism community, and great strides over the past few years in raising national awareness of the entire Autism spectrum.<\/p>\n

For those unaware of the great breadth of\u00a0 Autism, the word or diagnosis often triggers thoughts of a debilitating condition.\u00a0 Or a person who’s so greatly socially impacted that they can’t be expected to be self-functioning.\u00a0 Of course those of us in the community know only the opposite to be true — Autism, while difficult at any level, can bring about amazing inspiration, innovation, and connections.<\/p>\n

I’m very much looking forward to hearing and sharing stories of Autism this month.\u00a0 Help us give this ever-growing and important community increased visibility during the month of April.<\/p>\n

The following video was posted on CNN today and tells a great musical story.\u00a0 Let us know your thoughts and stories below or on Facebook<\/a>!<\/p>\n
