Advocating for Autism Awareness

Heather Mitchell, a crime prevention specialist, proudly shares this picture with her twins Ava (left) and Mia (right), 12, modeling the Sheriff Department’s first Autism Awareness t-shirt which they helped design. April is Autism Awareness Month and Ava was diagnosed with it as a toddler.

Mitchell and her girls are advocates for other children with autism. They have helped bring deputy presentations to their school to help their classmates with autism or other social and learning challenges build friendships with deputies and reduce the fear of seeing a uniform.
