During April 2009, the Autism Society of Berks County was proud to have seven billboards (with the artwork below) posted around Berks County in honor of Autism Awareness Month. We also placed an ad in two Sunday editions of the Reading Eagle. The newspaper ad contained many facts about Autism. We hope to generate a greater awareness and understanding of autism so that individuals can be diagnosed early, receive appropriate treatment, and be met with patience and understanding in our community.
