## Resource

Welcome to our latest episode! Today, the moms discuss the lack of inclusive resources and activities for individuals on the severe end of the autism spectrum. Before families and communities can move from awareness to acceptance, it is imperative that all individuals on the spectrum are understood and vital resources exist to meet all levels of support needed. Individuals on the severe end of the spectrum represent 26.7% of the autism population, and there is much more work to be done to support them. Join us for this important conversation.
