Hi everyone I wanted to talk to you guys about raising awareness for Autism! According to Autism Speaks Foundation Autism is" Autism is a general term used to describe a group of complex developmental brain disorders known as Pervasive Developmental Disorders. "Even with all the medical advancements we have in our society the causes of Autism is still unknown. Research shoes that there are many different levels, and severity of symptoms that Autism causes. 
According to Autism Speaks theses are some of the red flags with Autism

• No big smiles or other warm, joyful expressions by six months or thereafter

• No back-and-forth sharing of sounds, smiles, or other facial expressions by nine months or thereafter

• No babbling by 12 months

• No back-and-forth gestures, such as pointing, showing, reaching, or waving by 12 months

• No words by 16 months

• No two-word meaningful phrases (without imitating or repeating) by 24 months

The foundation for Autism Speaks mission is to create funds for global bio medical research in order to create prevention, and treatment for Autism. There goal is to also raise awareness on its effects on families and also the person who is suffering from Autism.

It is really important to bring hope to those who struggle with Autism and their families. I think its really important to give these families a sense of community, and to have a caring and helpful attitude towards them.

Information on Abortions

Abortion has been a very controversial issue for years, and because of that i was not sure if i should speak about it, but i decided to share some information with you guys!
Recent statistics show that one in three women in America will have an abortion by the age of 45, and although abortion is known as one of the safest medical procedures in the United States, there is still a great deal of controversy that surrounds it. 


I personally believe that there are many different alternatives that a women can choose instead of choosing abortions. My personal beliefs go against abortion, and i believe that God is the only one who gives us life and he should be the only one who can have the power to take it away from us. I also strongly believe that everything happens for a reason, and maybe at the time that you become pregnant you feel that it is not the right time for you, but maybe its the right time for someone else, and that person is not able to have children , and its something that they have really been wanting. You could be that person who gives them a life changing gift.  


There are many ways that you can become informed on what to do if you or someone you know is ever in this situation.  The most important thing you can do is become informed before ever making a decision. You should also avoid situations where you can become influenced by someone, you should always be the on making the final decision wether it be to go through with an abortion or not. 


These are some websites you might find useful to inform your self when making a decision.
