 ASAN is excited to announce the launch of a new Autism Acceptance Month website for this April, as part of a history of campaigns by autistic people and our allies to shift the month's focus from autism awareness to autism acceptance. The tagline for our Autism Acceptance Month website is "Acceptance is an action." This means that autism acceptance is an active process that requires both a shift in thinking and in action. Similarly, our website will not only provide fact sheets and resources about autism for autistic people, family members, educators, and the general public, but will also serve as a central location for posting and sharing information about autism acceptance-themed events occurring across the United States for the entire month. You can also take the pledge committing not to give your time, business or attendance to autism events that talk about Autistic people without including us. Will you take the pledge?
