Many more boys than girls are diagnosed on the autism spectrum: more than four boys for every autistic girl, according to the latest numbers from the Centers for Disease Control. Researchers point togenetic differences. But clinicians and researchers have also come to realize that many “higher functioning” autistic girls are simply missed. They’ve been termed the “lost girls” or “hiding in plain sight” because they’re overlooked or diagnosed late. They don’t fit the stereotypes or their symptoms are misinterpreted as something else. And they may be better at hiding the signs, at least when they’re young.

Families are at the heart of the Spectrum community. Every program, camp, and connection is made possible by families who believe that individuals impacted by autism deserve a place where they belong. 💙

Christopher first attended Spectrum camp when he was just three years old. Over the years, school break camps have helped bring routine, connection, and joy to his summers. Along the way, he formed a special bond with Ellie, one of the staff members who makes him feel happy, comfortable, and safe every time he’s at camp.

To say thank you, Christopher’s family purchased a brick on the Pathway of Inclusion to honor Ellie and the impact she has had on their family’s journey.

Now families have the final opportunity to be part of the Pathway of Inclusion. Personalized bricks must be ordered by March 19 and are a meaningful way to honor someone special while supporting the programs that bring our community together. 🧱💙
Buy a brick today! In honor of your family or family member or someone else you would like to recognize.
