These are the chances that a child born today will be affected by Autism, a complex neurobiological disorder that typically lasts throughout a person's lifetime. It is part of a group of disorders known as autism spectrum disorders (ASD) occurring in all racial, ethnic, and social groups and four times more likely to strike boys than girls. Recently, the American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended that all toddlers be screened twice before their second birthday.
In its mildest form, it impairs a person's ability to communicate and relate to others. At its worst, it can be totally debilitating, leaving the person incapable of relating to the world around them and shut off from the people who love them the most. While there is no cure, there are excellent programs in Western New York whose goals are to bring those affected back to the world.
Buffalo Musicians Against Autism was begun to help these programs reach that goal.
All proceeds from the show and sale of the CD and the benefit show will go to Autistic Services of WNY, The WNY Chapter of the Autism Society of America, Summit Educational Resources, and the Niagara BOCES Autism Program.
