In 2015 Lily had a dream. She asked herself, "How can I
help families like mine who are going through the same experiences?" At
the age of two years, her son Joseph was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum
Disorder. Driven by a desire to help others, Lily began the creative process by
contributing to the world of autism awareness. In 2016, she debuted her first
Facebook page, "Celebrating Awetism", which is designed to deliver
some of the best autism awareness content around. Soon after she announced her
goal of delivering awareness and support as an Author. Celebrating Awetism now
has three platforms...a Facebook page, a Pinterest page, and a Marketplace
store.
In 2020, Lily's organization has an updated logo and name:

With 1 in 68 children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in the United
States today (with similar rates Internationally), it is highly likely that
children will share their lives with an autistic child and throughout their

about autism. It is with hope that this, and her future books will inspire both
children and adults to come to place of understanding and acceptance.
Lily grew up and lives in Hawaii with her husband, and son Joseph. To learn more about Lily and Celebrating Awetism, log on to www.authorlilypetit.com.
