April is Autism Awareness month. The latest numbers are showing that it affects one in 110 children - and one in 70 boys. I hope that someday we attack this situation the same way we go after cancer or HIV. And that this awareness of the situation breeds more tolerance toward those dealing with autism.
Recently I've started performing puppet shows with two friends for elementry students to promote awareness of autism. And I've been very pleased with the questions these little ones ask after the show. It's their generation that will grow up with autism all around them. Tolerence can be taught at a very early age and these kids seem to get it.
