April is Autism Awareness Month
Thanks to Autism Speaks, thousands of landmarks (including the White House), businesses, houses of worship and communities in over 150 countries will Light It Up Blue in April to raise global awareness of Autism spectrum disorder.
29 Acres will proudly shine the light on individuals with autism every day for the month of April. We want to raise awareness of autism spectrum disorder in our own community and we hope we do that by sharing their stories.
MEET KYLE
Kyle is 23
Kyle was diagnosed at age 3 and had learning delays, delayed language and socializing deficits.
Kyle was very frustrated and angry that he could not communicate and acted out. He used his body to respond to the demands of the world and his own needs and wants. Due to intensive speech and behavioral therapy there has been great improvement.
He now has rare outbursts and can communicate with others better and even can carry on simple conversations.
Kyle does not have any social issues with family and is very loving and shows affection.
