‘Autistic Child’ Street Sign Helps Parents and Police

Ali Harris lives across the street from a park in South Roxana, Illinois, with her 6-year-old son, Kyren. Kyren has autism and is non-verbal. And like any mother, Ali worried for his welfare as traffic sped by. A chance meeting with the local police chief gave Ali the opportunity to ask about getting an Autistic Child Area sign. The sign was installed in just days. Ali says speeding has lessened in her area since the sign was posted.
