The resolution acknowledges Autism as a significant neurological condition that impacts communication and sensory processing, making social interactions challenging for affected individuals. It highlights the alarming rise in Autism diagnoses in the United States, with approximately 1 in 36 children affected and a 175 percent increase over the past decade. The resolution notes that Autism can manifest in early childhood and affects individuals across all demographics, though it is more prevalent in boys. While research has advanced in understanding Autism and its potential causes, no definitive cause has been identified. The resolution emphasizes the importance of early intervention in improving the quality of life for those with Autism.

In recognition of these issues, the resolution proclaims April 2025 as "Autism Awareness Month" in Rhode Island. It commends the efforts of individuals and organizations that have contributed to enhancing the lives of those with Autism and their families, advocating for continued awareness and understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorders. Additionally, it directs the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of the resolution to the Autism Society of Rhode Island Chapter, reinforcing the state's commitment to supporting individuals with Autism and promoting awareness.
