Autism Acceptance Month, Day 2

🌟 Introducing Autism Awareness Month with a Special Focus on Down Syndrome! 🌟
Welcome to Autism Awareness Month! Throughout April, we're excited to shine a spotlight on an important aspect of the autism spectrum that often goes unnoticed: its connection with Down syndrome.
Did you know that about 15% of individuals with Down syndrome also receive a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)? This statistic is not only significant but also on the rise. It's crucial to recognize and understand this intersection to ensure that individuals receive the support and services they need.
Join us this month as we share a daily fact about the co-occurring diagnosis of Down syndrome and ASD. Through these insights, we hope to raise awareness, promote understanding, and foster support for individuals with these dual diagnoses.
Stay tuned for our daily posts as we honor Autism Awareness Month with a special focus on Down syndrome and autism spectrum disorders. Together, let's learn, grow, and advocate for a more inclusive world! #AutismAwarenessMonth #DownSyndromeAwareness #InclusionMatters #dsaane
