Right now, 87% of families that
have children with Autism will end up in poverty.
According to the 2007 Center for Disease Control Report:
1 in every 150 children is born with an autism spectrum
disorder, and a new case of Autism is diagnosed every 20
minutes, making it the fastest-growing disability in the
nation. More children will be
diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder this year
than with pediatric cancers , AIDS and juvenile diabetes
combined.
The
commitment of contributors at every level is essential
to the continuing efforts to
establish and sustain Mountain Wish expertise, capacity
and services to provide world-class mountain experiences
for children and families with Autism, and a spectrum of special resident and visitor
populations. |
