Autism Awareness Month.

Welcome to my journey with the Morgan Marie Michael Foundation. I am honored to be a 2019 ambassador. I am inspired by the difference. I am committed to fostering love, acceptance, and tolerance throughout the special needs community and beyond. I have close friends whose children are on the autism spectrum and I know they help and need amongst the community for electronics for special services and for sensory toys. By supporting Shop, Sell and Strut I am helping to provide necessary equipment. Did you know that 1 in 59 children will be diagnosed with autism? And in the state of New Jersey that number rises to 1 in 34. Children with special needs are five times more likely to be bullied than that of their typically developing peers? It is time for change. I am devoted to doing my part in creating this change. As ambassadors, I am hoping to raise funds and create social awareness to enhance the lives of individuals on the autism spectrum and to show others what it means to be inspired by the difference. Thank you for following my journey. I strut for autism, do you?
