Autism
can be a difficult condition for people to understand. While
compassion should be shown to those who have the disability,
compassion
for autism is something that doesn’t naturally occur to many kids,
even though the condition itself is a lot more prevalent than most
people think.
According
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 out of 68 babies
in the U.S. are born with a condition that falls under the autism
spectrum. This represents a 119.4 percent increase from 1 out of 150
births in 2000, which makes autism the fastest-growing developmental
disability in the country. These facts highlight the need for parents
to be more proactive in guiding their children accordingly. To help
with this, several toy makers create boy dolls specifically designed
to promote autism awareness among children.
