This Is Autism: Little Things Can Be Huge

Through December 30, 2017

Autism is estimated to affect 1 in 64 children in the state of Georgia, and includes problems with social communication and other behaviors. In 2017, the Marcus Autism Center teamed with Atlanta-based Hales Photo to document patient families, and to capture each child’s greatest achievement after undergoing therapy. For kids with autism, every milestone matters, and should be celebrated. This Is Autism: Little Things Can be Huge is sponsored by CDC’s National Center for Birth Defects and Disabilities, Division of Congenital and Developmental Disorders, Developmental Disabilities Branch, and the David J. Sencer CDC Museum, Office of Associate Director for Communication.
