Our character, Neo, is based on Nehemiah Dawson, a terrific kid who is on autism spectrum. Our Adventures of Neo series teaches us to understand the world of autism and to be the best friends, family members and care-givers possible. We can all learn from each other.

One in 68 children in the US is born with autism.
Boys are four times more likely to have it than girls.
No two people with autism are alike; it is not precise.
According to the CDC, there are three main conditions on the autism spectrum: autism, pervasive developmental disorder (PDD-NOS) and Aspergers syndrome (retracted in 2013). While there is no current cure, early intervention and treatment of symptoms can greatly improve quality of life.
