SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Andy Manar (D–Bunker Hill) passed Senate Resolution 218, which designated April 25, 2013, as World Autism Awareness Day in Illinois. World Autism Awareness Day shines a bright light on autism as a growing health crisis as autism has risen to 1 in every 88 births in the United States. Nearly 1.5 million Americans are diagnosed with some form of autism spectrum disorder.
Logan Hanner of Bunker Hill was the honorary sponsor for SR 218 and was recognized by Senator Manar and members of the Illinois Senate on Thursday.
