It’s about creating spaces where everyone feels valued, understood, and celebrated for exactly who they are. What does Autism Awareness Month mean to you?

April is Autism and Neurodiversity Awareness and Acceptance Month, a time to celebrate the culture and diversity of Autistic and Neurodivergent communities and promote acceptance and understanding. Embracing autism and neurodiversity acceptance goes beyond acknowledging Autistic and Neurodivergent people. Acceptance is an action and starts with listening and respecting the rights and humanity of those living with autism and neurodivergent conditions. It means creating a culture that challenges the stereotypes and societal barriers that Autistic and Neurodivergent individuals face, building a culture of inclusion and understanding. We encourage you to learn more about how you can be an ally and what it means to embrace and practice acceptance. 👉 https://bit.ly/3U1Q8rY

Rather than focusing on changing people with autism to fit into societal norms of behavior and communication, the emphasis is on accepting and understanding them for who they are. Autism Acceptance Month serves as a reminder to celebrate the diversity and uniqueness of individuals with ASD. By promoting acceptance, understanding, and support, we can create a more inclusive society. A great pace to start is with the book, "Untypical" by Pete Wharmby who writes about "How the world isn't built for autistic people and what we should all do about it" See how TYGES supports the autistic community >>> https://lnkd.in/evKE2wDP
