Autism acceptance and awareness goes beyond the month of April! "Autistic people deserve to be embraced and valued by our society. Too often, they face misunderstanding, discrimination, and lack of access on all fronts—in education, employment, justice systems, and community life. True inclusion means creating environments where diverse needs are accommodated, allowing people with autism to thrive as their authentic selves."

🌟 **Important Reminder for July 4th!** 🌟 As we approach the upcoming July 4th holiday, let's take a moment to consider the sensory needs of children on the autism spectrum. Loud noises, bright lights, and crowded spaces can be overwhelming for some individuals with autism. If you have visitors or neighbors who are on the spectrum, please be mindful of the activities you have planned and create a supportive environment for everyone to enjoy. 🏖️🌊 For those heading to the beach or river, it's essential to keep an extra eye out for individuals who are drawn to water, as many on the spectrum are. Water can be a source of fascination and attraction, so it's crucial to be aware of your surroundings and take necessary precautions to keep your loved ones safe. Let's come together as a community to celebrate responsibly and inclusively this Independence Day. By being mindful of the unique needs and preferences of individuals on the autism spectrum, we can ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday. 💙 #AutismAwareness #InclusionMatters #July4thSafety #CommunitySupport
