|
WHEREAS, Since the 1970s, April has been set aside as |
|
|
National Autism Awareness Month in order to inform the public about |
|
|
autism and issues within the autism community; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Autism spectrum disorder and autism are general |
|
|
terms for a group of complex disorders of brain development; they |
|
|
are characterized by varying levels of difficulty in social |
|
|
interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication, and repetitive |
|
|
behaviors; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, According to the United States Centers for Disease |
|
|
Control and Prevention, 1 in every 59 children is affected by |
|
|
autism, compared with 1 in 150 in 2000; the Autism Society |
|
|
calculates that more than 3.5 million Americans of all ages live |
|
|
with an autism spectrum disorder; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The cause of this disorder is unknown, but |
|
|
behavioral intervention can dramatically improve outcomes; early |
|
|
diagnosis and intervention are crucial to ensure effective |
|
|
treatment that can help these valuable members of society use their |
|
|
skills and talents to reach their full potential; now, therefore, |
|
|
be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize April 2019 as Autism Awareness Month |
|
|
and encourage all Texans to learn more about autism spectrum |
|
|
disorder. |
