This month is Autism Awareness
Month.
Autism is a complex
neurobiological disorder that typically lasts
throughout a person's lifetime. It is part of a
group of disorders known as autism spectrum
disorders (ASD). Today, 1 in 150 individuals is
diagnosed with autism, making it more common
than pediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDS
combined. It occurs in all racial, ethnic, and
social groups and is four times more likely to
strike boys than girls. Autism impairs a
person's ability to communicate and relate to
others. It is also associated with rigid
routines and repetitive behaviors, such as
obsessively arranging objects or following very
specific routines. Symptoms can range from very
mild to quite severe.

"Walk for Multiple Sclerosis" Coming
Next month |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
From a local participant:
 The
annual Walk for Multiple Sclerosis
happens next month here in Las Vegas.
We’re planning on participating again
this year and we are asking you to join
us in the fight against MS by making a
contribution to support our efforts. The
National MS Society is dedicated to
ending the devastating effects of MS.
Their primary mission is finding a cure
for the almost half million Americans
who are living with the disease.
We believe in the work they do and have
participated in the annual walk events
for about 15 years. We know your
support can and will make a difference
in their lives.
Please help by making a donation - large
or small - to fight MS. Whatever you can
give will help! We greatly appreciate
your support. And -- if your schedule
permits -- come join Rick and Gail Ream
when they take their MS Walk on Saturday
morning, May 10, 2008.
Thanks to all of you who have been there
for us in the past and to all you
newcomers, too!
PS - Checks can be made payable to NMSS
(National Multiple Sclerosis Society)
and sent to: P.O. Box 81994, Las Vegas,
NV 89180. |
