This past Wednesday, April 2nd marked the annual World Autism Awareness day. This event was created in 2007 by the United Nations to raise awareness for Autism. Today, Autism is a growing health crisis. Autism now affects 1 in 68 children and 1 in 42 boys. These figures are increasing as Autism is the fastest-growing serious developmental disability in the U.S. Autism has become so pervasive that is currently one of three health issues to be recognized by the United Nations with its own day.
In order to raise awareness for Autism the Ginarte Law Firm asked its attorneys and support staff to wear the color blue. We are proud of the many participants who took part in this event. Pictures of the Ginarte Firm’s World Autism Awareness Day participants have been uploaded to our Facebook page. Click on the link below to access the pictures. Be sure to like our Facebook page.
