Children in Scottsdale, AZ Reach Out to Children with Autism

Scottsdale, AZ (PRWeb) January 20, 2007 -- Children and teenage students from the Arizona Angels Studio, a dance studio in Scottsdale, AZ, raised $17,000 for children with autism. As part of their efforts, they participated in the first annual walk for Cure Autism Now at Tempe Town Lake and presented their donation check to Cindy McCain, wife of Senator John McCain.

"Inspired by the story of one student's twin brother, our 300 students and their families banded together to raise money to help fight autism. I was astounded at the donations they generated. There's just something about children helping other children; I'm truly proud of my students," remarked Amy Leroy-Gelb, founder and owner of the Arizona Angels Studio.

The Cure Autism Now Walk is a 5K (3.1 mile) family walk and autism community resource fair heightening public awareness and raising money to fund autism research. Proceeds from the walk support Cure Autism Now's mission to find the causes, effective treatments, prevention and a cure for autism.

The Autism Walk is one of many ways the Arizona Angels Studio is involved with the local community. As part of their culture, students are encouraged to become involved in acts of charitable service through activities such as raising $15,000 for Hurricane Katrina victims, feeding 350 homeless families during the Holidays, participating in the Special Olympics, and joining the Fashion Show to benefit the Emily Center at the Phoenix Children's Hospital.

Can Adults Be Diagnosed With Autism Later In Life?
Autism has been around for many years as specific condition but hasn?t always well understood by the medical community and for some people their condition has been misdiagnosed. Though the classic form of autism is something that is often quite obvious in a child, there are high functioning autism types like Asperger?s that can be thought to be something else entirely. This form is just now being understood, and many who have had it their whole lives are just now learning that this is the case. It seems to make the answer to the questions pertaining to can adults be diagnosed with autism rather simple.

Raising Children With High Functioning Autism
If your child has been diagnosed with high functioning autism, parenting can be a challenge. The main reason is because autistics do not think and mentally develop the same way as the average child, and so must be taught individually and differently. Therefore, the challenge is finding out what parenting methods work for your autistic child. Essentially, it?s a lot of trial and error.
