Today is !

All around the world, people come together today to recognize the dignity and worth of individuals with autism, and advocate for policies that promote neuroinclusive environments in health, education, workplaces, sports, and other sectors.

Over the years, significant progress has been made, driven in large part by autistic advocates who have worked tirelessly to bring the lived experiences of autistic individuals to the forefront of global discussions.

I stare at a yellow rose,
Its' petals so crisp,
So uniquely formed,
That's a blessing.
I look at the blue sky . . .
That's a blessing.
I stare at an orange and brown
Monarch with awe,
That's a blessing.
My friend crosses my mind,
That's a blessing . . .
My friend helps me respect myself,
That's a blessing . . .
My doctor always tries to teach me skills
To respect myself and listens,
Even if no one else does,
That's a blessing.
--Jenny Durr, “Blessings”

All of us at Matheny wish a Happy to all those beginning their celebrations this evening.

The eight-day Jewish holiday of Passover is celebrated in the early spring.

Passover commemorates the emancipation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. It is observed by avoiding leaven and highlighted by the Seder meals that include four cups of wine, eating matzah and bitter herbs, and retelling the story of the Exodus.
