One participant from our CFA community has embraced and encouraged the meaning of Autism acceptance. We can be more accepting when we listen and learn about others experiences, increase our understanding, and lead a life with empathy. Thank you to the Market Street Adult Group for providing their perspectives!

We want to use this month to advocate for autism acceptance over autism awareness. Awareness is only the first step. Acceptance pushes society to embrace the unique strengths and differences of autistic individuals. Acceptance is about providing a space for belonging through understanding and compassion. Thank you for this well-made representation!
