Hello, my name is Tracey and I'm a mum of two gorgeous kids. One who happens to have Autism (ASD or Autistic Disorder... ).
Awesome for Autism has been created to fundraise and bring some awareness about Autism into our community.
A portion of the proceeds from the Awesome for Autism webstore will go to Autism Awareness Australia. Please show your support by purchasing one of our beautiful products, or by making a direct donation on my Everyday Hero page.
What is Autism? Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are lifelong developmental disabilities characterised by marked difficulties in social interaction, impaired communication, restricted and repetitive interests and behaviours and sensory sensitivities. Source
Is there a cure? There is presently no known cure for ASD. However, early intervention, specialised education and structured support can help develop an individual’s skills. Source
What is the Autism Puzzle Piece? There is alot of debate about this - however, I choose to use it as a positive icon for Autism. Autism (and NOT the person) is the puzzle that we are trying to solve and to learn more about.
