Our local Texarkana Autism Awareness group has many events this month to improve awareness, share their strategies, and raise funds. The money raised will be donated to schools in our area for self-contained classes for tools for Autistic students.

The Autism Society recognizes that the prevalence of autism in the United States has risen from 1 in 125 children in 2010 to 1 in 54 in 2020 – recognizing this continued increase, the goal for AAM is to further increase awareness about autism signs, symptoms, and opportunities through information and referrals, events, printable and digital resources, and community partnerships with businesses and organizations dedicated to building inclusive experiences.
