MILITARY FAMILIES (Source: Autism Speaks www.autismspeaks.org):
Military sources indicate that more than 20,000 military dependents, the majority of them children, have some form of autism. Their families face all the emotions and challenges that accompany having a child diagnosed with autism, compounded by the realities of military service: war, extended family separation, frequent moves, varying access to specialized healthcare, and other stressors that complicate and often work against effective treatment for children with autism.
Life Journey Through Autism: A Guide for Military Families and Operation Autism, its companion website, serves the purpose of providing each family with the tools and access to information they need on their unique journey through autism.
Order or download a free copy of the military guide at: www.operationautismonline.org/guide-for-military-families/
