| Just because Autism Acceptance Month is coming to an end doesn’t mean that we stop practicing acceptance because…
Acceptance happens every day.
We’ve been sharing stories and information all month, but it won’t stop here. Acceptance means more than a designation for a month; it is an act of embracing the different and unique experiences across the Autism community.
Acceptance starts with an understanding that everyone’s unique experiences are valid and creating space for each member of the Autism community to speak openly and without judgment. We asked members of our community to tell us about themselves for Autism Acceptance Month, and the act of doing so helped create connections even within a family.
“Myself and my family really enjoyed ourselves at the photo shoot - the staff, photographers, and everyone there was so generous, so helpful, they made us feel like family. My son was a little intense in the beginning and it's really hard for him to open up, but he opened up to them.” – Kenya, parent participant in 2023 Autism Society Photoshoot
