To celebrate Autism Awareness & Acceptance Month and the millions of Ausome & Autistic people everywhere on tonight's episode we'll be talking about Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD.
Joining me for this important discussion are:
Neurodiversity trainer, Certified Purpose Coach, Certified Autism Specialist and Founder of Akili's Corner, Akili Atkinson. Akili says that purpose and passion drive her work.
My second guest was Mrs. Chanel McGriff-Sok. Chanel is a stay at home mom, personal caregiver to her mom and the Owner/Founder of this episodes sponsor Ausome S.W.A.G. Apparel!
Some key takeaways from this episode are:
1 in 44 children in the US is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder
1 in 27 boys identified with autism and one in 116 girls identified with autism.
Autism affects all ethnic and socioeconomic groups
Minority groups tend to be diagnosed later and less often.
There is no medical detection for autism
Resources and programs vary from state to state
Young adults and those leaving the school system that are Autistic often are not properly equipped to handle "real life" situations.
Autism presents in many different ways and no 2 cases are exactly the saem
"If you know 2 autistic people, you just know 2 people with autism"
