Autism Spectrum Disorder Ribbon - My almost 8 year old son has high functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder. There are many aways to join in the awareness and to fight against this terrible uncurable disease. More and more children are being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This does NOT mean these children are retarded, it is such a harsh word. Please don't hesitate looking up information using a search such as google, or ask me questions. I am willing to let you know what I know and where to find the best and most current information, that I know of. I am no pro, but I do everything I can to help my family cope though some of the more difficult times and explain to you my knowledge and experiences. CC
