Autism in the U.S.: The Real Picture
For many autistics and their families, daily life is not easy, as autism affects the entire family. Meeting the complex needs of an autistic person can put families under great stress: emotional, financial, and even physical. Finding resources and planning for the future can help families improve their quality of life.
An autism diagnosis can profoundly reshape family dynamics. Improving quality of life and fostering positive relationships hinges on obtaining comprehensive, up-to-date education about autism. Armed with this knowledge, families can tackle the unique challenges of raising a neurodivergent child from a place of understanding, positivity, and respect.
ABOUT US
Our Inspiration
Embarking on the journey of raising an autistic child, we found ourselves awash in a sea of emotions: confusion, uncertainty, and a sense of adventure. Initially, we had no idea what to expect or what it truly meant to have a child on the autism spectrum. We had heard of autism, but we didn’t really understand it. Our son’s diagnosis came as a surprise, but as we learned more about autism, we began to see the unique strengths and challenges it encompassed. We discovered that our son saw the world in a different way, with a keen eye for detail and a passion for routine. We also learned that he struggled with social cues, communication, and sensory overload, which required patience, understanding, and creative problem-solving on our part.
Embracing Neurodiversity
At Aventura Consciente, we see neurodiversity as a fundamental aspect of what makes us human. We believe that every person, no matter their neurological wiring, has the right to be respected, accepted, and empowered to live their best life. When you donate, you’re helping us sustain crucial services and support for autistic individuals and those who love and care for them. Together, by celebrating neurodiversity and cultivating acceptance, we can build a world that welcomes and includes everyone, embracing our differences as strengths. Your donation will directly impact autistic individuals and their families, connecting them with vital resources, nurturing understanding and acceptance of autism. All donations are tax-deductible where allowed by law.”
