Today may be April Fools Day - but we're choosing to focus on the fact that it's also the first day of Autism Awareness Month. More than 3.5 million Americans live with an autism spectrum disorder, with a prevalance estimated at 1 in every 68 births (CDC, 2014)

Here at MediSked we have an incredible amount of respect for the folks at Microsoft and the work that they do. It may have something to do with the fact that one of our co-founders and some of the smartest people on our team have come from Microsoft - but even if we didn't have personal ties - we would still have a whole lot of love and admiration for the world's largest software maker - techwise and beyond.

You see, Microsoft does a whole lot of good for the world - and today some of that good is hitting very close to home. Partnering with Special Olympics, Microsoft has just announced a new initiative to empower and promote inclusion and respect for people with intellectual disabilities. It's part of their Windows 10 #UpgradeYourWorld campaign and it's a really beautiful thing.

This weekend, many will celebrate Easter - and either hide, find, or open colorful plastic eggs. The majority of them will not give any thought to where those eggs came from - and that's ok, but if they knew - it just might bring an additional smile to their face.
