Web Site Purpose |
Welcome to the "We Know Autism"
web site. The purpose of this site is to promote
and advocate autism sensitivity. When a family has a
child with autism, life is very challenging.
However, to those individuals who have not been exposed
to an autistic child or adult, things are not always as they
appear. Here is an example: When our family
goes to Disney World and our daughter is having a
difficult time and she begins to scream and/or throw
herself to the ground, for the average person, her
behavior might appear as a typical child having a temper
tantrum. Do not let life's assumptions of how
child should behave fool you. Children with autism have
difficulty in communicating their needs and desires.
What may appear as a temper tantrum in all reality maybe
a frustrated child unable to communicate with those
around them. We dedicate this site to our
daughter, families, and all children who live with
autism. We will attempt to
bring awareness through the sale of autism materials
such as window clings, stickers, iron-ons, and many
other types of merchandise. This site is not
about making a profit. All of the items sold on this
site will be sold virtually at cost. We are doing
this for two reasons: One, we desire that everyone has
the ability to buy our merchandise and help us spread
the word about autism sensitivity. Two, provide
a means to those who might be financially challenged
but still would like to participate in our crusade.
All monies collected on this web site are reinvested back
into our cause.
For now this page is a place holder until we get the
official web site online. In the meantime should
