It's April!! April is officially Autism Awareness Month, but don't you think it's about time we started having Autism Acceptance Month? We've been aware for a long time. People with autism are people. They love, they laugh, they cry, they work, they go to school, they pick themselves back up when they've been knocked down. They enjoy family and friends. They have hopes and dreams. Just like you. What, you might ask, is the difference between awareness and acceptance? I believe it's the difference between noticing them and knowing them.
