Autism Awareness

This page is dedicated to Autism and Autism Awareness! Autism (ASD) affects 1 in 44 children across the United States. This not only affects children but parents and family members as well!  My hope is that this article shines a light on this disorder and will encourage people to get involved! There are many ways you can help as well as support others that are helping to raise awareness! Helping children is one of the most worthy causes for which you can give your time and share a Love for others. 

What Is Autism

Autism Awareness

Autism (ASD) is also known as Autism Spectrum Disorder. What is known about this is that it includes a wide range of conditions. These include challenges with repetitive behaviors, social skills, nonverbal skills, and speech. Also, there is not just one type of autism, but many sub-types. Sub-types are influenced by genetic as well as environmental factors. Because this is a spectrum disorder it creates different challenges for each individual. It affects how each individual learns, thinks, and develops problem-solving skills. Some cases are mild while others are severe and often completely disabling. Support levels vary and many may never develop life skills to be able to live independently.

Along With Autism Come Other Challenges and Conditions

Anxiety, seizures, and other disorders often accompany autistic individuals. Many also develop mental health problems, and these factors can influence the development of autism. Often the signs and symptoms don’t appear until around the age of 2 or 3. However, autism can occur in children as young as 18 months. Like many other disorders, early intervention is key to better outcomes that can create life-changing results later in life! Tons of research is ongoing and many organizations not to mention people need your support in raising awareness and money. If you would like to help keep reading to discover ways you can make a difference! 

Teaming Up To Raise Autism Awareness

Autism Speaks

Tony Mantor and Plateau Music team up with Autism Speaks to help raise money for Children with Autism! Tony is an American Singer/ Songwriter, and producer located in Nashville, TN.  I read an article online about a Music Label teaming up with one of the largest charity organizations that help people with autism. So, I read further and it just so happened to be someone I know and yes, I would like to help.

Tony’s current work includes producing and working with established legendary artists as well as developing new artists.

This charity also helps the family members to care for their loved ones. Autism speaks also focuses on helping to give the family caregivers tools to achieve better outcomes into adulthood! Plateau Music partnered with Autism Speaks with a goal of raising $250,000 over the next year to donate and assist those in need. Tony plans to donate proceeds from his up-and-coming (CD )album “Why Not Me” to families in need! To contribute or start a conversation, go here and see how you can help raise funds!

I met Tony in 1997 through a mutual friend and had the pleasure of getting to know him and his family. Already successful in his own career, still he was lending his own time to help others reach their goals.  He personally helped me with a project I was working on un-related to music. People that are genuine have a lasting effect on others. It’s not every day that you see people “Paying It Forward”. I consider him to this day as a friend and also a Mentor! It was no surprise to see his work still having a positive influence behind it today! Go Here to Purchase Music and help raise money today!!!!
