MILITARY FAMILIES (Source: Autism Speaks www.autismspeaks.org): Military sources
indicate that more than 20,000 military dependents, the majority of them
children, have some form of autism. Their families face all the emotions and
challenges that accompany having a child diagnosed with autism, compounded by
the realities of military service: war, extended family separation, frequent
moves, varying access to specialized healthcare, and other stressors that
complicate and often work against effective treatment for children with autism. Life Journey Through Autism: A Guide for Military Families and Operation Autism, its companion website, serves the purpose of providing each family with the tools and access to information they need on their unique journey through autism.
