HOW TO TALK TO KIDS ABOUT AUTISM
🌺🌺🌺
Everyone is Different:
Just like everyone looks different on the outside, everyone's brains are different too. We all have our own unique strengths and weaknesses- this is a GOOD thing!

Invisible Disabilities:
There are many disabilities. we can see just by looking at a person. But there are many people living with a disability that we cannot see on the outside. Just because we can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there.

What Autism is & What Autism is Not: Autism is a difference in the brain that allows people to experience things in a different way. Autism is NOT unintelligent, anti-social, wrong, or bad. lt's just different, and differences are great!

Kindness & Including Others:
Even though we are all different, we all have the same needs. Think of ideas for what you can do to be kind and include someone who may feel left out. ❤️🩵❤️💙
