The Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office will host the fourth annual Law Enforcement/Autism Awareness Day from 1 to 4 p.m. this Sunday at Classic Iron, 4907 Jefferson Davis Hwy., Fredericksburg.

“To our knowledge, this is the only community program of its type in Virginia and elsewhere,” Sheriff Roger L. Harris said in a statement. “The program provides a focus on autistic children and their families, as well as being open to the public to offer more information about this condition.”

There will be food, games and entertainment for the families and the public. The sheriff said, “It’s a great opportunity for the families of these children to come together in fellowship and learn more about the support services available to them.”

The public can gain more knowledge and understanding of autism. There will also be a display for Project Lifesaver and information about this amazing program.

Additionally, there will be special guest appearances by two alternative Christian rock groups, The Key of David and Full Armor.
