“The new statistics show that the service needs of individuals with autism should increase. This will guide future research and inform policies related to health care and education for autistic individuals,” Seward said. “These numbers also show that there will be students with autism in every classroom, at every team sport and in social settings. Autism is prevalent in our community, and it is vital to understand how autism affects those we interact with and how we can better support them.
Gathering in-person for the All In for Autism event is another important outreach, according to Seward. “I think this is an opportunity to raise awareness and educate the general population about our neuro-diverse kiddos. It also gives these families a time to celebrate their kiddos’ differences and feel a sense of community within their uniquely atypical children,” said Brock, M. Ed., a board-certified behavior analyst and licensed behavior analyst for Hopebridge Autism Therapy Centers.
