#CelebrateDifferences for Autism Acceptance Month 👏

Join our efforts & make an impact for AAM!

April is Autism Acceptance Month! Today, the Autism Society of America kicks-off Autism Acceptance Month, and our mission to #CelebrateDifferences as we work to build an inclusive society where individuals with autism live fully through connection and acceptance.  While April is typically referred to as Autism Awareness Month, the Autism Society network and partners have been tirelessly advocating to lawmakers to federally designate April as Autism Acceptance Month. We applaud our 75 affiliates who are successfully advocating for proclamations at the state level, and have already seen wins in Louisiana, Michigan, Nebraska, Hawaii, Ohio and Kentucky, just to name a few! Awareness leads to acceptance, which ignites change across our quest for equitable human rights in healthcare, employment, housing, and much needed supports and services. With your help we not only #CelebrateDifferences, but acknowledge and accept the autism community’s differences to adapt, accommodate, and ignite change.
