Autism Awareness month starts in Australia on the 1st April and culminates ont he 30the with dress differently day.
Autism Queensland CEO Penny Beeston said, "Demand for Autism Queensland’s services was up 40 percent from 10 years ago".
“We know that 1 in 160 children have a diagnosis of Autism, and we’ve seen a real increase in the demand for our services right across Queensland,” she said.
“Autism Queensland receives government support but we also rely on donations from the community to make Autism information, support and outreach programs accessible to all Queenslanders.”
Ms Beeston said Autism Queensland was the only organisation to provide Autism specific Outreach Programs into all schools in Queensland, whether they are State, Independent or Catholic schools.
“Money raised will fund education and therapy for children with Autism; information services to support families and professionals as well as supporting our Outreach Programs, ” she said.
Some (cheap) ideas to dress differently include:
•put your clothes on backwards or inside out
•put your socks on after your shoes
•teachers could wear the school uniform to school
•get the old Superman costume out of mothballs
