Today is World Autism Awareness Day. Autism is the fastest-growing serious developmental disability in the U.S. and it costs a family $60,000 a year on average. Yet only about 0.55% of the 2012 National Institutes of Health budget funding was devoted to Autism research. Autism is a condition that is often overlooked even though it affects 1 in 68 children in the U.S. Please join Alpha Xi Delta sorority and WEAR BLUE in support of Autism Awareness! * We will also be selling baked goods and Autism Speaks bracelets in Novack and Collis * We will be passing out blue ribbons with an Autism fact in Collis from 11am to 2pm * There will be Autism fact sheets around campus? Get informed, donate, and help spread awareness with Alpha XiDelta and Autism Speaks!? ?
