Ride with Me for Autism 2011

Ride with Me for Autism
A Great Ride for a Great Cause

The American Academy of Pediatrics announced in October, 2009, that one out of 91 children is being diagnosed with autism today and 1 out of 58 boys are affected. Tragically, roughly one percent of American children are now on the autism spectrum. There is a great need for families to obtain early intervention services and ongoing support for their loved one(s) throughout their life span. This puts a great emotional and financial hardship on the majority of families, because services and support do not come easily.

Ride with Me for Autism enables us to raise funding for Autism awareness, to give assistance, provide support and to help fulfill the needs of families who battle with Autism.

Artos Press began as a way to reach my son. When he was only two years old he began to disappear into an "invisible box" where he couldn't be reached. Words he once spoke disappeared and hollow eyes replaced the bright eyes we adored. When he was eventually diagnosed with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder I had already been researching. When 18 doctors gave me 18 different answers I began to search for a better truth nearly non-stop. Now, after 7000 hours of searching, I share what I have learned with others. By detailing our journey I hope to provide answers and shorten the trip for others. Raising a child on the Autistic Spectrum Disorder is NOT the end of the world. It is only the beginning of a magical journey.
