The photo on this post highlights one of the special interests of one of our kiddos. He LOVES animals, lining them up and then using his figurines to act out or script scenes from videos and movies he has seen. His love for animals is like our love for him and other kiddos on the Autism Spectrum. Every day to us and our families is an Autism day. We are VERY aware of Autism and all of the beautiful challenges that come with it, others in the world are not. We are thankful for the month of April and this day so the world can take time to learn and grow in it's ability to accept, include and understand. These things don't just need to happen today or this month, but every single day.

We are at Helix love the role we play in teaching others how to better understand, include, and accept those with Autism. 1 in 36 children have Autism. That also means that as they age 1 in 36 adults, will have it too. It's not a matter of if you will encounter someone with Autism but when! Pease take time to learn and understand their world so they can better live in yours!

We are here to help in any way we can! Call or text us with any questions. 918-978-3861

Direct link to the petition to sign. Please take a moment and share after signing.

🚨 Hello, my name is Brina Dutton. I am reaching out as an autism advocate and mother who has experienced the heart-dropping panic when my autistic child has gone missing.

🚨 It happened with my son, Owen, at age three. Every second was critical, and luckily, I found him just in time. But I know too many families who didn’t haveve that same outcome.

🚨 Children with Autism and Impaired Cognition have a high risk of wandering (or "eloping") and do not having an awareness of putting themselves in danger. Tragically, many of these stories end in drowning, as these children/individuals often gravitate toward water.

🚨 Currently, there is no dedicated emergency alert system for these high-risk situations—an alarming gap that we are striving to fill by introducing The OWEN ALERT Act (TOAA).

🚨 The OWEN ALERT Act would establish an immediate alert system, like the AMBER Alert, specifically designed for cases where individuals with Autism or Impaired Cognition go missing—a necessity, considering 49% of children with autism attempt to elope from a safe environment, a rate nearly four times higher than their unaffected siblings/peers (Source: National Autism Association).

🚨 This critical initiative, named after my son, Owen, has the potential to save many lives and bring peace of mind to families of individuals with Autism or Impaired Cognition.

🚨 Children and adults like Owen need you to advocate for them—to ensure their safety and well-being.

🚨 This is an urgent cause that cannot wait. To protect our children and adults living with Autism and Impaired Cognition, we need the OWEN ALERT Act in placesce NOW.

🚨 Please lend your support and sign this petition. Let's influence the necessary change that will ensure the safety of all individuals. The more petition signatures we receive, the more compelling our need is to Congress and Lawmakers.

Please sign this petition! Would be a game changer for our kiddos with Autism that elope.

Every 36 hours a child with Autism goes missing. TOAA would ensure an immediate National alert.

We live and breathe Autism every day with the families we serve. We see amazing milestones like our clients say their first words, copy a peer the first time, or tolerate something that would typically cause big emotions. We are so lucky to see this progress on a daily basis with our amazing kiddos. April is our favorite month of the year because the rest of the world is celebrating with us!

Happy Autism awareness and acceptance month from the Helix Autism team!
