While April has been known as Autism Awareness Month since the 1970s, leading organizations across the country have started shifting the language to match the need for acceptance within our communities.
Autism Acceptance Month aims to foster acceptance through improved support and opportunities in education, employment, accessible housing, affordable health care, and comprehensive long-term services.
