Woodbridge Township raised a 4-foot-6-inch flag at town hall in recognition of autism awareness for the month of April.
Woodbridge is the first in the state of New Jersey to fly the autism awareness flag. Mayor John E. McCormac held the flag-raising ceremony before the Township Council meeting on March 27th.

I have a cousin who suffers from Autism and know all too well what the disease can do. Educating the public on different steps and treatment and fund raising is a great idea.
I have a friend who’s sister suffers from autism. She wasn’t born with it. She got it because her doctor gave her certain immunizing shots too close together and it left her with autism.
