April is Autism Acceptance Month. Whatever you do this month, do NOT support Autism Speaks and do NOT “light it up blue”.
Listen to Autistic people and amplify Autistic voices. Support Autism organizations that are led by Autistic people, such as the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (@autisticadvocacy) and the Autistic Women and Nonbinary Network (@awn-network).
