Break out the blue this Friday, March 31, LFPS community! LFPS recognizes World Autism Day this Friday. World Autism Day is officially Sunday, April 2; however, we wanted to recognize the day on a school day.
A great place to learn more about autism? Start with Autism Speaks Canada. You can also check out this YouTube video on the Autism Speaks Canada website. It is a great video!
This website explains that autism, or autism spectrum disorder, is a range of conditions which include challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviours, and speech and non-verbal communication. It is now believed that there is no single cause of autism. Rather, there are a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
