Autism Awareness Month

April is Autism Awareness Month, and a time to think about how far we've come since the days of Bruno Bettleheim, and yet how far we have to go. The more people know, the more we will increase acceptance and inclusiveness of these people within our communities, which would be a boon to all of us.

At Morgan Autism Center, we are creating more awareness through collaborations with other entities. On April 17th, we are joining forces with Whole Foods in Campbell to promote awareness of healthy living and diet. Whole Foods offers 'food tours' for people interested in the Gluten-Free, Casein Free Diet. And on April 28th, we are combining our efforts with Montalvo Arts Center to showcase a special screening of the film Possibilities, Disabilities and the Arts, by Keri Bowers. After the film, we will have a performance by Nick Guzman, one of the performers featured in the film, and a panel discussion that I will be moderating.
