National Autism Month

Posted 2013/04/01 11:22 AM by ZWIP

Hey Fellow Managers. April is national Autism month and Tues the 2nd is national
Autism Day. Autism affects 1 in 96 children. 1 in 56 boys. Autism has no medicine
and no cure. When you have ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) you have it your whole
life so it is a life long struggle for those who have it and those who care for them.

I have a 5 Year old son with ASD. It is constant battle day by day to help him deal
with his illness. Besides having ASD though he is a happy, healthy typical boy. His
Brain is wired differently is the only way to describe it. 2 year level on problem solveling
and copeing with change but 10 year level on letter/numbers and a better memory
than any adult I know. We wouldn't trade our little man for anything though,his smile
and laughter when accomplishing something simple for us but difficult for him makes it
all worth it.

If you know someone with ASD or someone dealing with it please wear Blue tomorrow
to support them and the efforts being made to help control this illness.

Thanks
ZWIP

Tell what ya ZWIP, I have an idea. To try to help out what we can in game, lets all make a fighter w/ the words 'blue' and 'ribbon' in it. Whoever has the most amount of wins by the end of April, I will give 500 credits too. Don't care if it is bots, fighters, challenges, whatever. Whichever fighter has most wins, gets 500 credits. KO will be tie breaker. GL!
