Simply stated AWARENESS is the knowledge, realization, or perception of a situation. The founders of The Bryan Foundation started learning about Autism Awareness in 1985. Little did we know that it was Autism that was staring us in the the face on a daily basis. The culture, in which we lived, tried to convince us otherwise. Perhaps we were looking at a poorly behaved child, willful disobedience, or at the very least terrible parenting skills. Nonetheless, we were becoming more aware every minute of everyday while the community that we lived life with became more and more distant every minute of everyday.
AWARENESS is the first step to ACCEPTANCE. We believe that people can do better when they know better. It is our mission to bring AWARENESS to the community. Autism is not something to be feared! AWARENESS starts with everyday people making an effort to learn more about Autism.
