Dear John,

Throughout World Autism Month, we're sharing stories of members of our community, as part of our commitment to light up the world with kindness. Every experience with autism is entirely unique, and we hope that these stories will inspire more people to embrace the diverse and broad autism community.

Today, we're introducing you to Owen and his family, whose story shows the impact of early screening and intervention to help kids with autism to reach their full potential.

P.S. If you or your loved ones have questions about screening or the signs of autism, visit www.ScreenForAutism.org or www.DeteccionDeAutismo.org for resources and a simple screening questionnaire.

For personalized support and questions, contact the Autism Response Team at 1-888-AUTISM2, en español at 1-888-772-9050 or by email at [email protected].
