KIDS COLORING CONTEST!
Autism And Children
According to the National Autism Association, autism is a bio-neurological developmental disability that affects the normal development of the brain in various areas. Those areas include social interaction, communication skills and cognitive function. Autism generally appears before a child reaches his or her third birthday, and the NAA notes it is diagnosed four times as often in boys than it is in girls. Roughly 40 percent of children with autism do not speak, but parents whose children speak between the ages of
12 and 18 months should know that such youngsters can still ultimately be diagnosed with autism. In such instances, the NAA notes that children lose the words they previously learned. Incidences of autism appear to be on the rise, though the reasons for that remain unclear. According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the prevalence of autism had risen to one in every 59 children by 2018. That’s twice as great as the rate in 2004, when the CDC reported one in 125 children were diagnosed with autism.

September is National Suicide Prevention Month
AFSP-LI Is Leading The Fight For Suicide Awareness And Prevention Here On Long Island
September is National Suicide Prevention Month, a moment that serves as a powerful reminder that there are steps we all must take in looking out for loved ones, the people in our community, and those who have been impacted by this leading cause of death. Suicide continues to be an urgent public health matter with nearly 50,000 people dying by suicide and 1.6 million people attempting suicide in the United States in 2022 (the most current data available).
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, a leader in this work, invites the public to join our growing movement and take action to save lives during this
awareness month and beyond. It’s time to take one big step together.
Since 2002, millions of people have attended the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s OUT OF THE DARKNESS COMMUNITY WALKS in communities across the country, raising awareness and funds that go toward education programs, advocacy efforts, and scientific research that reveals how we can save more lives.
By walking with others, we find comfort in knowing we are not alone, and that we are connected through great purpose to healing and support. So join us – as parents, neighbors, family members, classmates and colleagues – at our
two Out of the Darkness Community Walks on Long Island, as we all take a step in the right direction: towards HOPE.
Our Out of the Darkness East End Long Island Community Walk will be held on Sunday, September 22nd, beginning at 10:00 am in Smith Point County Park in Shirley. You can find out more information and register at //www.afsp. org/longislandwalkeast.
Our Out of the Darkness Long Island Community Walk will be held on Sunday, October 27th, beginning at 10:00 am in Jones Beach Field #5 in Wantagh. You can find out more information and register at www.afsp.org/ longislandwalkwest.
