APRIL IS:
AUTISM AWARENESS/ ACCEPTANCE MONTH
In April we celebrate Autism Awareness, Autism Acceptance, and World Autism Day on April 2, 2023. If you have autism or love someone with autism, join us to help increase understanding and acceptance of people with autism.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex, lifelong developmental condition that typically appears during early childhood and can impact a person’s social skills, communication, relationships, and self-regulation. A person with autism may also suffer from medical issues such as gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, seizures or sleep disorders, as well as mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression and attention issues. The autism experience is different for everyone. It is called a “spectrum” because it affects people differently and to varying degrees. According to the CDC, autism has risen to 1 in every 44 children as of 2021.
While there is currently no known single cause of autism, early diagnosis and intervention helps a person receive services and support that can improve their quality of life and provide the opportunity to live fully.
For more information on autism, please visit helpful websites such as The Autism Society and Autism Speaks . If you suspect your child may have autism, please contact your local Regional Center and/or Family Focus Resource Center.
ABRIL ES:
CONCIENTIZACIÓN SOBRE EL AUTISMO/ MES DE ACEPTACIÓN
En Abril celebramos la Concienciación sobre el Autismo, la Aceptación del Autismo y el Día Mundial del Autismo el 2 de Abril de 2023. Si tiene autismo o ama a alguien con autismo, únase a nosotros para ayudar a aumentar la comprensión y la aceptación de las personas con autismo.
El trastorno del espectro autista (TEA) es una condición de desarrollo compleja y de por vida que generalmente aparece durante la primera infancia y puede afectar las habilidades sociales de una persona, comunicación, relaciones y autorregulación. Una persona con autismo también puede sufrir problemas médicos como trastornos gastrointestinales (GI), convulsiones o trastornos del sueño, así como problemas de salud mental como ansiedad, depresión y problemas de atención.
La experiencia del autismo es diferente para todos. Se llama una "condición de espectro" porque afecta a las personas de manera diferente y en diversos grados. Según CDC, el autismo ha aumentado a 1 de cada 44 niños a partir del año 2021.
Si bien actualmente no existe una causa única conocida para el autismo, el diagnóstico y la intervención temprana ayudan a una persona a recibir servicios y apoyo que pueden mejorar su calidad de vida y brindarle la oportunidad de vivir plenamente.
Para obtener más información sobre el autismo, visite algunos de los sigientes sitios web como: The Autism Society y Autism Speaks. Si sospecha que su hijo puede tener autismo, comuníquese con su Centro Regional local y/o el Centro de Recursos de Enfoque Familiar.
