That’s why we are excited to embrace the many varied stories from the Autism community. Join us as we honor the wide range of experiences across the spectrum by taking time to share your stories on social media through the #CelebrateDifferences hashtag.
In sharing our unique stories, we are able to highlight the need for acceptance, inclusion, and connections that support people with Autism throughout life’s journey.
Autism diagnoses are growing, both for children and adults. Last December, the CDC updated its findings on the Autism prevalence rate and found that one in 44 children are diagnosed with Autism. Over 7 million people in the United States are on the Autism spectrum. Furthermore, Autism affects people from all racial, ethnic and socio-economic standings. The Autism spectrum itself is wide and varied in terms of developmental and/or intellectual challenges, and the level of support needed to live fully differs per individual. Because of this diversity, Autism isn’t just one thing, it’s many things, with millions of lived experiences.
This April, we’ll be sharing stories, information and resources that can help everyone discover how they can be the connection and make a difference in the lives of individuals with Autism and their loved ones.
Help the Autism Society of America create connections that will make a difference!
Join the Autism Society during Autism Acceptance Month to #CelebrateDifferences. Together, we can create connections that empower everyone in the Autism community with the resources needed to live fully.
