Do You KNOW Autism?

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects children in diverse ways, impacting social interaction, communication, and behavior. This diversity of experiences is key to raising autism spectrum awareness. Early recognition empowers families to seek the proper support for their child’s unique needs. Understanding autism spectrum disorder is the first step to creating a more inclusive world. Explore our website to learn more about the signs of autism, the importance of early intervention, and the resources available to support individuals with ASD and their families.

Beyond Diagnosis

While ASD presents challenges, it’s important to remember that it’s not a limitation. At KNOWAutism, we champion the unique strengths and abilities of every child on the spectrum. We understand families’ financial and emotional challenges, and we’re here to offer support and resources. Learn more about our financial programs and apply for assistance. Together, we can create a brighter future for children with autism.
