Embracing Neurodiversity: Celebrating Autism Acceptance Month and Parkinson's Awareness Month

April marks a significant time for raising awareness and understanding of neurological differences. As we celebrate Autism Acceptance Month and Parkinson's Awareness Month, it's essential to recognize the diverse experiences and challenges faced by individuals living with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and Parkinson's disease. Shared Horizons, a pooled special needs trust in DC, stands as a beacon of support and advocacy for individuals with various neurodevelopmental and neurological conditions.


Autism Acceptance Month: Autism Acceptance Month is not just about awareness but also about fostering an environment of acceptance, understanding, and inclusion for individuals with autism. This month, Shared Horizons reaffirms its commitment to supporting individuals with ASD by providing resources, services, and a supportive community that celebrates neurodiversity.

In partnership with local organizations and advocates, Shared Horizons organizes workshops, seminars, and social events tailored to the unique needs of individuals with ASD. Through these initiatives, individuals with autism can develop essential skills, access educational opportunities, and build meaningful connections within their community.


Parkinson's Awareness Month: Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement and often involves tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination. During Parkinson's Awareness Month, Shared Horizons shines a spotlight on the challenges faced by individuals living with this condition and their caregivers.

Through comprehensive support programs, Shared Horizons empowers individuals with Parkinson's to live fulfilling lives by providing access to specialized care, assistive technologies, and therapeutic interventions. By raising awareness and advocating for improved services and research funding, Shared Horizons strives to enhance the quality of life for those affected by Parkinson's disease.

Shared Horizons remains dedicated to advocating for the rights and well-being of individuals with autism spectrum disorder and Parkinson's disease, ensuring that they have the resources and support needed to thrive.


Together, let's build a more inclusive society where every individual, regardless of their neurological differences, is valued, respected, and given the opportunity to reach their full potential.

My husband was diagnosed of Parkinson’s Disease a couple of years ago, he had severe fatigue, difficulty with mobility and sleeping. He was placed on Sinemet 3 times daily, which helped but only for a short while. So, we decided to try alternative treatment and began on PD-5 protocol, it has made tremendous difference for my husband, he had improved walking balance, muscle strength and he is now very active. His Parkinson’s is totally under control, we got the treatment from binehealthcenter. com. This treatment is a breakthrough for PWP!

He is now almost 51…
