This resolution commends Shreveport City Councilwoman Tabatha Taylor for her dedicated advocacy for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The resolution highlights that April is Autism Awareness Month, noting that one in fifty-four Americans are affected by autism, and that Taylor has personal experience as the mother of a son diagnosed with autism at age two. The document recognizes Taylor's work as the executive director of the Odyssey Foundation, a nonprofit that supports families and communities dealing with childhood illnesses, and specifically praises her efforts to raise awareness, including sponsoring the "Light it Up Blue" event on the Bakowski Bridge of Lights for World Autism Awareness Day. The resolution formally acknowledges Taylor's commitment to finding resources for parents and families of individuals with autism and encourages all Louisianians to support initiatives that promote autism acceptance both in the state and across the United States.
