The purpose of this sharing station is to acquaint others with Autism, and suggest ways individuals can interact with an Autistic child or adult. Perhaps you know someone with Autism in your ward or neighborhood. Maybe your child has an Autistic peer in their class at church or school. Autism can be confusing because it demonstrates itself in so many ways. The numbers of children being diagnosed with Autism are increasing. (1 in 150 children nationwide; 1 in 133 in Utah).
