A puzzle piece is often a symbol or image for autism. That is because many time when someone is diagnosed with autism, their parents and themselves understand the “missing piece.” An autism diagnosis can explain behaviors that nothing else can, so it is often viewed as the final puzzle piece to understanding either yourself or your child.

Autism is commonly known to be a “spectrum”, meaning, no two people with autism are exactly alike. There are many different characteristics of autism, and those are diagnosed can have any number and combination of those characteristics with varying degrees of severity.  

Behavioral Pediatrics Resource Center serves organizations that serve throughout Georgia, with an emphasis on rural south Georgia. We provide autism awareness trainings for organizations which care for children so that they can understand how to best serve children with autism.
