🌟 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.

Welcome to Autism Acceptance Month! As we embark on this journey of raising awareness and understanding, we at Down Syndrome Advocates in Action Ne are excited to shed light on an often overlooked aspect of the autism spectrum: its intersection with Down syndrome.
Did you know that approximately 15% of individuals with Down syndrome also receive a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)? This number is not only significant but also steadily increasing. It's a reality that warrants attention and action.
