It seems that everybody has a cause of some sort or
another. Many people display their support for these particular causes in
a variety of different ways. Some make contributions to organizations that
are working to find a cure while others do things in order to raise the
awareness of these particular diseases. One disease that many people have
an interest in and that has touched many different lives is autism. One of
the best ways for you to show your support and to raise the awareness of this
particular disease is by displaying an autism ribbon.
Autism is a disease that affects almost 1 out of every 150 people. It
is a childhood disease that sticks with an individual throughout their lifetime
and makes it difficult for them to be able to fit into society. There are many
different ideas of what causes autism in these individuals and why it would be
on the rise at this particular time. We know that autism is caused by
hereditary means and also may be caused through chemicals that are indicative of
birth defects. Something that many people are considering now is that the
disease is caused as a result of vaccinations that are given to children.
At this particular time, there is no scientific corroboration of this particular
theory.
The autism ribbon is a simple way that you can help to raise the awareness of
this particular disease. And just like any other ribbon, it is a U shape
that crosses in the middle and has its own unique color. This particular
ribbon is red blue and yellow and is in the shape of puzzle pieces all across
the ribbon. Some of the ribbons also display the words autism awareness on
them. You can wear these ribbons as pins on your clothes, decals on your
shirt and even display them on your bumpers.
As more and more people are affected by this terrible disease, additional
support will be necessary, not only for the individuals with autism but also for
family members they care for them. Show your support for everyone involved
by displaying your own autism ribbon proudly.
