Every year during the month of April is Autism Awareness month, and the city of Mission has partnered up with Bebo’s Angels to create a first annual event called Superheroes Autism Day that will take place from 11am – 1 pm April 15 at Bannworth Park.
Bebo’s Angels is a non profit organization created to provide education and support to families with loved ones who are on the Autism Spectrum Disorders. The organization strives to make a constant difference in the minds of individuals autistically inclined at some level according to bebosangels.org
Media Relations Director for the city of Mission Kenia Gomez listed the events and activities that will be at the Superheros Autism Day.
She said the city of Mission took notice that other cities weren’t doing activities similar to this such as including a walk to bring awareness to Autism.
Board member of Bebo’s Angels and the event coordinator for Superhero Autism Day Linda Gomez explains what the meaning of Autism Awareness month is.
She said she has kids of her own who are on the spectrum, so she understands the struggles other families deal with not being included in other social activities such as being invited to play with other kids or going to parties. Linda Gomez wants to show the community that kids with autism are here to stay.
