LANSING, Mich. — April is National Autism Awareness Month while April 2ND was recognized by the United Nations General Assembly in 2007 being declared as World Autism Awareness Day.

Now this year the XDAF wants to celebrate the unique talents and asset that people on the spectrum can bring to help make the world a better place such as Kodi Lee, and Dr. Temple Grandin. As XDAF CEO himself is diagnosed with autism he understands quite well how difficult it can be sometimes for people on the spectrum to reach their potential especially in the moment of history the world is facing right now during the COVID-19 pandemic crises.

As Autism has no boundary being such a wide spectrum of symptoms it can be hard to estimate just how many really need more public time to help them develop social interaction skills while Americans are currently under Quaranteam it makes even more challenges for people with autism to develop more public social skills with less public education, public institutions being shut down and social services for mental therapy not as many open currently neither. People with autism have trouble with coping with change and redeveloping once a moment of crises changes the daily routines of their daily normal basis.
