Let's come together this April for Autism Awareness Month to promote love, acceptance, and understanding for individuals with Autism. Vice Mayor Agran had the pleasure of joining the community at the Sweet Shade Ability Center to mark the launch of Action with Autism, a nonprofit organization. Founded by Emma, an Irvine high school student, along with her two friends, this organization aims to assist parents of newly diagnosed children with Autism in seeking early intervention and maintaining consistency.
Reflecting on her own experiences, Emma shared, "The early intervention I received as a child paved the way for my success, and the unwavering support from my family was crucial in my development and achievements today."
