Autism Fundraiser

Do you want help with an Autism fundraiser! It is surprising how many children are now diagnosed with autism. Did you know a child is diagnosed with Autism every 20 minutes? - Unfortunately, it is true!

I want to do my part to help! I sell children's books and am happy to donate a percentage of sales back to your organization. We can set up an on-line book sales. Then, send out an email to friends and family asking them to shop at your show. I am would love to help you raise money and awareness for Autism, while promoting literacy. In 2009 year we raised $150.00 for Autism Society of Illinois. Yes, I hope to raise more but every little bit helps. So please contact me if you want help raising money.

Here are the five different types of Autism on the spectrum:

Autism is a developmental disability which impairs its victim’s ability to communicate and socially interact with other people. Its symptoms occur early in life and often include lack of, or delayed, language development, the use of repetitive motions and statements when language is possible. It also includes lack social skill development. The victim does not appear interested in interacting with other people.

Aspergers Syndrome is a milder form of the neurological disorder that is often known as high functioning Autism. Children afflicted with Aspergers Syndrome tend to lack empathy with others and have a hard time with social interaction. They often have unusual facial expressions and postures. Their speech can be very advanced for their age. They often have only a few interests, though it’s not unusual for them to be very knowledgeable about those interests. Their motor skill development is often delayed. Rett Syndrome is a neuro-developmental form of Autism in which the child (almost always a girl) seems to be developing normally at first (usually during the first 5-30 months) Early symptoms of the disease are a loss of skin tone, followed by an inability of the child to effectively use her hands. Brain and head growth are delayed and seizures and mental retardation are common. Basic motor skills are also often impaired.

Childhood Disintegrative Disorder (CDD) has many of the same symptoms as Autism. However these symptoms appear later, often between the ages of 2-4 years. Before that the child’s language, social, and motor skills seem to be developing normally, but then begin to decline. The end result of CDD is virtually indistinguishable from Autism.

Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) Some of its symptoms may include difficulty socializing with others, repetitive behaviors, and heightened sensitivities to certain stimuli. Basically the person afflicted is considered to have many Autistic traits without having full blown Autism.
