Initiative To Help Families Deal With Challenges

PHILADELPHIA – A new study is being circulated everywhere to help parents with one of the hardest things for any family to deal with, autism.

On Thursday morning, “Good Day” had results of a new study that lists goals and activities that will improve the quality of life for your child.

Linda Meyer, executive director of Autism New Jersey, told “Good Day” that parents, when they get a diagnosis, crave information and just want answers.

The new study is called “Connecting with Autism: A Blueprint for Lifetime Support.” Copies are being distributed to the governor, legislators, local officials, community leaders.

About 80,000 people are living with autism in New Jersey. The study identifies the critical goals and activities that will improve the quality of life for people on the autism spectrum.

The goal is to help people with autism lead full and productive lives from their infant years through adulthood.

The group says the more people know, the more we can create a society that understands and can help.
