Badger teacher Debbie Roland wanted to raise awareness concerning Autism. She found t-shirts that not only reach out to people regarding awareness of the disability but work toward one specific goal for everyone: Be Kind. Shirts were worn on April 2nd by the EEN staff and the front office staff that read, "In a world where you can be anything be kind."
About Autism: The autism spectrum disorder (ASD) refers to a broad range of conditions that can include issues with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech, and nonverbal communication. Many people with autism suffer from depression, anxiety, gastric problems, ADHD and epilepsy.
According to the CDC, in 2018, 1 in 37 boys and 1 in 151 girls were diagnosed with ASD. Autism affects all socio-economic groups. Nearly 2/3 of students ranging in ages from 6 to 15 with autism have been bullied. Knowing this and seeing the shirts this year I feel everyone's goal should be to be kind.
