There are more than 3.5 million Americans living with an autism spectrum disorder. This month, the Texas Medical Center observes National Autism Awareness Month. The national movement encourages everyone to support autism awareness and acceptance in our schools and communities, ensuring that all individuals—whether they are directly affected by autism or not—are valued and appreciated. 9 11 18 22 8-9 29-30
