Good for Goose and Gander

Each time you purchase a Lullaby Linens product, you’re investing in our company. And we feel strongly that what’s good for us is also good for you. That’s why each month Lullaby Linens will give back ten percent of our sales to a charitable community cause. This month we’re supporting the Autism Society of America. Here’s a brief overview of autism from their website:

Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life and affects a person’s ability to communicate and interact with others. Autism is defined by a certain set of behaviors and is a “spectrum disorder” that affects individuals differently and to varying degrees. There is no known single cause for autism, but increased awareness and funding can help families today.

Autism is treatable. Children do not “outgrow” autism, but studies show that early diagnosis and intervention lead to significantly improved outcomes. Here are some signs to look for in the children in your life:

• Lack of or delay in spoken language.
• Repetitive use of language and/or motor mannerisms (e.g., hand-flapping, twirling objects).
• Little or no eye contact.
• Lack of interest in peer relationships.
• Lack of spontaneous or make-believe play.
• Persistent fixation on parts of objects.
