____________________________AMOC SCOOP____________________________

Mission:
Formed in 2004, AMOC strives to support families who cope with Autism and related disorders. These families face their struggle often in isolation and at great personal hardship. AMOC aims to raise public awareness of Autism through seminars and media campaigns in Orange County. AMOC works to provide information and networks to help empower families and the community, so that we can better address the unique and troubling challenges of this health problem. AMOC also aims to raise understanding and tolerance in Orange County. We advocate for those people, often voiceless, who might act or look different, who should be respected, and loved for whom they (or we) are.

Dear Friends, 

The rate of Autism has increased to 1:110 children born today.  Orange County families are not immune to this epidemic!

You can assist individuals with autism spectrum disorders and their families who live, work and go to school in your community by partnering with Parents Run AMOC (Autism Move-a-thon of Orange County ) and Mental Health Association in Orange County .  The sixth annual Autism Move-a-thon will be held October 10, 2010 at the scenic Thomas Bull Memorial Park in Montgomery .  The fund raising event also gives families an opportunity to have a great day with food, music, children’s activities and information fair.
