This resolution commends Shreveport Councilwoman Tabatha Taylor for her efforts in promoting awareness during Autism Acceptance Month in April 2025. It highlights the significance of Autism Awareness Month, which aims to enhance public understanding of autism spectrum disorder, affecting one in fifty-four Americans. The resolution notes that Councilwoman Taylor, whose son Dominique was diagnosed with autism at the age of two, is a dedicated advocate for individuals with autism. She serves as the executive director of the Odyssey Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides resources for families and communities dealing with autism and other childhood health issues.

Additionally, the resolution recognizes Councilwoman Taylor's recent initiative, "Light it Up Blue," which took place on the Bakowski Bridge of Lights for World Autism Awareness Day. Her primary objective is to find resources to support parents and families of adults with autism. The House of Representatives encourages all Louisianians to support initiatives that promote autism acceptance and acknowledges Councilwoman Taylor's inspiring work in this important area.
