MyWorldTrader.com will then donate a portion of total sales to the selected charity.
MyWorldTrader.com has well known retailers to choose from. You may also visit their Charity Of The Month page to make a donation yourself or to find out more information about AutismSpeaks.org. Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder that typically lasts throughout a person's lifetime. It is part of a group of disorders known as autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Today, 1 in 150 individuals is diagnosed with autism, making it more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined.
It occurs in all racial, ethnic, and social groups and is four times more likely to strike boys than girls. Autism impairs a person's ability to communicate and relate to others. It is also associated with rigid routines and repetitive behaviors, such as obsessively arranging objects or following very specific routines. Symptoms can range from very mild to quite severe. "We are proud to support such a worthy organization such as AutismSpeaks.Org. April is Autism Awareness Month. We believe this is a great opportunity for those who shop online to help a great cause," said Mr. Hanson.
