It was Saturday April 12th and it was to be the day that many people would walk for Autism Awareness, a neurological developemental disorder which is becoming unfortunately more and more prevailant. The latest figures have said that a new case is diagnosed every 20 minutes or 67 cases every day. More figures now say that it is more widespread than AIDS, perhaps this figure relates to the U.S. only. Other research suggests figures may have increased due to the fact that the diagnosis has been expanded and now encapsulates a wider range of cases. Saturday would be the day when all of those who are affected or know of this disorder come together to bring awareness to Autism. Teams of those who donated gathered in line to walk the 1.5 miles (shortcut) or the hardcore 3.5 miles for those who could do it.
