Surfer's Healing: A Camp For Autistic and Disabled Children

Chances are, someone you know has an autistic child. According to the National Institutes of Health, three to six out of 1,000 children will be diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and boys are four times as likely to have ASD, than girls.   And so it was not unusual that all of the autistic children I met while doing my report on a surfing camp for autistic and disabled children, called “Surfer’s Healing,” were boys.
