Autism-associated health problems extend across the life span – from young children to senior citizens. Nearly a third (32 percent) of 2 to 5 year olds with autism are overweight and 16 percent are obese. By contrast, less than a quarter (23 percent) of 2 to 5 year olds in the general population are overweight and only 10 percent are medically obese. Unicorn Children’s Foundation has partnered with Yogability Fit to offer a Healthy Living Club. Members set goals for healthy living, learn and practice healthy daily living activities, and develop routines for long term health. Unicorn Children’s Foundation has also partnered with GibCONNECT to offer a Breakfast Club to feel empowered as you learn how to choose healthy breakfast options and prepare them.
