Did you know that Autism Awareness Month was founded in April 1970 by Bernard Rimland, Ph.D., a psychologist and autism researcher. He chose the month of April to coincide with his son’s birthday and the start of spring!

The Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN) has called April “Autism Acceptance Month” since 2011, stating, “Acceptance of autism as a natural condition in the human experience is necessary for real dialogue to occur.” What is autism? Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) refers to a broad range of conditions characterizes by challenged with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. According to the Centers for Disease Control, Autism affects an estimated 1 in 36 children and 1 in 45 adults. Autism can look very different for each person that is Autistic. Each person with Autism has distinct set of strengths and challenges.

What should I do if I believe my child has autism?

Parents and care takers can visit “Learn the signs, act early” which is a website that highlights ways to learn more about developmental screenings and how to talk with your pediatricians. Based on a pediatrician’s recommendation a child can be put through evaluations that are done by children’s psychologists, psychiatrics and others that specialize in development and behavior. Receiving an Autism diagnosis may be a life-changing experience, but you are not alone. Support systems and connections are everywhere within the Special Education community to support you, your family and child.

Alcohol Awareness Month is a public health program organized by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence as a way of increasing outreach and education regarding the dangers of alcoholism and issues related to alcohol. The program was started in April 1987 with the intention of targeting college-aged students who might be drinking too much as part of their newfound freedom. It has since become a national movement to draw more attention to the causes and effects of alcoholism as well as how to help families and communities deal with drinking problems.
The Importance of Alcohol Awareness Month

A big part of the work of Alcohol Awareness Month is to point out the stigma that still surrounds alcoholism and substance abuse in general. For many, denial is a common trait among those struggling with alcoholism or alcohol abuse.1 They often underestimate the amount they drink, the duration of their drinking problem, the impact it has had on their life, or overestimate their ability to control their drinking or to quit.1 Denial is also common among friends and family members who are uncomfortable acknowledging the gravity and reality of the situation. With this in mind, Alcohol Awareness Month gives public health bodies, community centers, and treatment facilities the chance to increase their efforts to reach people who may not fully appreciate the dangers of unhealthy alcohol consumption.

March is National Kidney Month, a time when communities across the country raise awareness about kidney disease. This year’s focus is on taking charge of your health and the many factors that go into managing your kidney disease.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious condition affecting around 35.5 million people. Often overlooked until symptoms appear, CKD is progressive and can put you at risk for serious health complications including heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure. Adopting a healthy lifestyle can help you manage CKD and its complications from progressing.

sleep is one of the three pillars of health, along with nutrition and movement – it is a fundamental part of your overall health and wellbeing. Sleep affects all aspects of your health and, conversely, it is affected by everything that is going on in your mind and body, as well as in your environment. That’s why sleep problems and solutions must be looked at in the context of YOU.

Sleep makes up one-third of your life, which is huge – yet, it remains largely invisible, unless it’s disturbed. Some people wish they could skip over this part of life, or try to sleep less, thinking they’ll be able to be more productive or have more fun. Nothing is further from the truth! That’s because sleep isn’t a luxury; sleep is a necessity. If you don’t get enough, your productivity and fun time will suffer.

Sleep impacts all of your body systems – cardiovascular, muscular, nervous, endocrine, skeletal, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and the reproductive system. Sleep also affects metabolism, and is closely linked to weight gain and loss. Poor sleep also has been linked to cancer, injuries, poor brain health and even an increased risk of glaucoma.

Doesn’t something this important deserve your attention?

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month and is an opportunity for all women to understand more about this condition, what symptoms to look for, and potential treatment options they can discuss with their health care providers.

What is endometriosis?
Endometriosis (en-doe-me-tree-O-sis) is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows in other places in the body. It is one of the most common gynecological diseases, and its primary symptoms include pain and infertility.1 Endometriosis may affect more than 11% of American women between 15 and 44. Endometriosis can develop in any girl or woman who has menstrual periods but is especially common among women in their 30s and 40s and may make it harder to get pregnant.2

Endometriosis growths are benign (not cancerous). But they can still cause problems. Endometriosis growths may swell and bleed in the same way the lining inside of your uterus does every month—during your menstrual period. This can cause swelling and pain because the tissue grows and bleeds in an area where it cannot easily get out of your body.2

Women with endometriosis may experience a variety of symptoms which may include:

Heavy menstrual periods
Problems getting pregnant
Painful menstrual cramps that may worsen over time
Painful bowel movements or pain when urinating during menstrual periods
Pain during or after s*x
Pain in the intestine or lower abdomen
Bleeding or spotting between menstrual periods
Stomach (digestive) problems such as diarrhea, constipation, bloating, or nausea, especially during menstrual periods
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms talk with your health care provider. They may perform a pelvic exam, an imaging test (such as an ultrasound), or a laparoscopy, a type of surgery that doctors can use to look inside your pelvic area, to determine if you have endometriosis.

Breast cancer is a disease where abnormal cells in the breast grow out of control and form a tumor. It is the most common cancer in women, though men can also be diagnosed with it. Early detection through screenings like mammograms is crucial, as the prognosis is significantly better when the cancer is caught at an early, localized stage.

Signs and symptoms

Breast cancer can manifest in different ways, and some people may not experience any symptoms, especially in the early stages. Potential signs and symptoms include:
A new lump or thickening in the breast or armpit
Swelling of all or part of the breast
Dimpling or irritation of breast skin, which can look like the skin of an orange
Redness or flaky skin in the ni**le area or breast
Ni**le discharge other than breast milk, including blood
Changes in the size or shape of the breast
Ni**le pain or a ni**le that turns inward
