It is important to realize that Autism Spectrum Disorder is a growing reality for many Americans. Teachers, educators, parents, coaches, the police and people in every walk of life need to be aware of and be proactive in dealing with ASD persons. If you are a parent and suspect your child is on the spectrum follow up. If you are a person in a position of authority over such a child, educate yourself. The impact on your life and theirs will be immense.
