The stereotype that autism is primarily a white male thing negatively affects
everything from the way the rest of us are
treated in society to what kind of care we
receive to the age at which we're diagnosed — and whether we are able to
receive a proper diagnosis at all.

everything in our power to detect and
treat illness prior to an adoption; however, the animals we rescue are homeless and typically
receive little or no medical attention prior to arriving at our facility.
