April is autism awareness month and it's always nice to see it being talked about in the local media. Being a parent of two autistic kids, it's hard for me to gauge whether awareness in society has risen in the last few years, as mine has definitely been. Before our eldest was diagnosed I had very little knowledge of what autism was and just how large the spectrum was. While Rhona and I weren't as active on social media as we would have liked to have been during April, I did find myself thinking about the kids a lot and how far they've come.
