November is #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth 💙 We honor the autism families and caregivers who give so much of themselves often quietly, tirelessly, and without the respite they deserve. You are seen. You are appreciated. You are valued. #autismfl #autismparents #autismfamilies

Behind every autistic child, teen, or adult is a caregiver carrying a whole world. 💙 This #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth, we honor all the parents, siblings, grandparents, and loved ones showing up every day.

Grateful for the Family Care Council Area 4 for supporting the Northeast community at the 9th Annual Connecting the Dots in Jacksonville. We were honored to have Bob Asztalos, the new APD Florida Director @floridaapd meet with our board members. #Autism #Florida

We welcome growing attention to autism’s causes. Families deserve answers. The federal report on acetaminophen is a step forward, yet far more is needed. Ahead of Nonspeakers Awareness Day, we encourage deeper research, pharma accountability & real support for autistic people.

The ASF and ASGO are thrilled to announce that sponsorship of the bill for cameras in special education classrooms is well underway! More info coming next week about how you can help. A very special appreciation for the dedication from @RepChambliss and @ChaseTramontFL

😞 As of today, 63 #children have died from #drowning in #Florida. – that’s 5 more than last year at this same time. Of the children who were 4-17 years old, 47% had #autism. #JULY usually has the highest level of childhood drownings. PLEASE monitor your kids
