🔴 FREE Big Red Safety Box — For Autism Families Who Need It!

The National Autism Association is offering a free safety toolkit mailed directly to your home for families of autistic loved ones who may wander or elope from safe environments.

Inside the box:
✅ Door & window alarms
✅ Personalized RoadID bracelet or shoe tag
✅ Stop Sign visual prompts for doors & windows
✅ Family Wandering Emergency Plan, first-responder profile, caregiver checklist & more

These boxes are grant-funded, so supplies can run out — but keep checking back when they do. When new funding comes in, boxes become available again. It's worth it! 💙

🍎 Teachers — there's a FREE toolkit for you too!

👩‍🏫 Teacher Toolkit: https://nationalautismassociation.org/big-red-safety-box/naas-big-red-safety-teacher-toolkit-now-available/

Share this with a family who could use it. You never know whose day you might change. 💛

Walk when:
- you’re having a difficult conversation
- you just got bad news
- you’re with a child who’s having a tantrum or a huge reaction “ok let’s walk together” get them moving
- you’re having therapy (if using telehealth or by phone especially)
- you’re feeling irritable and don’t know why
- you have to give someone bad news
- you wake up groggy
- you have brain fog or feel like your brain is “shut off”
- you want to text something you might regret
- you have to make a big decision
- your brain won’t stop replaying the conversation
- you want to connect with consciousness, god, or the universe
- you want to forgive yourself

April is ♾️🌈

Awareness tells you autism exists, acceptance makes room for autistic people to thrive.

I’m heading back to uni in a few weeks to start my thesis and I thought I’d share some accommodations that have helped me in the past and that I’ll probably be asking for again.

Let’s be real though - the most important accommodation is an accessible process for requesting them.

Support shouldn’t require chasing specialists for reports and multiple appointments all the while we’re attending classes just to have our needs met.

Accessibility that requires forms, proof and multiple appointments isn’t accessibility, it’s another barrier.
