Today there is no cure for autism but progress can be made, thanks to dietary regimens, behavioral
therapy and various medications.

The puzzle pieces used to symbolize autism reflect the mystery and complexity of
autism.

Children with autism just want to be accepted and treated with love and respect.

Don’t be puzzled… accept autistic children for who they are. Make them feel loved, accepted and
respected.

I am thankful for also sharing this day with other Indiana girls wanting to make a difference in the
world.
