Noting that autism is a prevalent condition affecting people of all walks of life, the Barton County Commission Monday morning approved a joint proclamation with the City of Great Bend recognizing Monday as the 11th annual World Autism Awareness Day 2018. Great Bend Mayor Joe Andrasek signed the proclamation last week. World Autism Awareness Day is recognized on Monday by presidential proclamation in the United States of America, said Sally O’Connor, chairman of the Autism Committee for the Great Bend Pilot Club.
