I was wondering...being pretty new in the world of cycling, organized rides and charity events...have any of you heard of or participated in anything that was focused on autism or autism awareness? I did a search and found a few but nothing at all in my region (northern California). I'm hoping there is something out there that I could either ride in or at least get a jersey from to wear on other rides to get the word out. My youngest son is mildly autistic and loves bikes-my goal is to eventually do family rides with him as a way to encourage his social skills and being active. He is a great inspiration to me and is a good example that autism has many faces.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? As I said I did a search but didn't come up with much (I'll keep looking) and I'm sure its going to come down to making some phone calls too-maybe organizers still have some leftover jerseys around that I could pick up and at least wear them whenever I am out riding.
