Sonia Chand is here to help us celebrate Autism Acceptance Month, which is the month of April. And I think for me, and there are probably a lot of parents right now listening, people who have friends that Are on the spectrum or have family members on the spectrum.I think there is a misnomer in terms of being on the spectrum, ASD, Asperger's and the whole realm of different titles in terms of autism. I know Sonia will clarify this for us because we want to become experts and the biggest advocates for autism as we are obsessed with doing that. I think there are a lot of misnomers and going back 20, 30 years ago, what did I think of autism?I thought of people that couldn't talk. I thought of people flapping their arms. I thought of people who didn't know how to express themselves, people who were relegated Or institutionalized, and I know I'm wrong about this, but this is how far we've come since the 1990s and in the 1990s, one in 150 children were diagnosed with a SD.Now in the year 2024, one in 36 children are diagnosed with a SD. is a huge discrepancy in these numbers.
