Happy World Autism Acceptance Day

Today is World Autism Acceptance Day which is a day where we celebrate our amazing community. Today is a day where we educate the world about what autism is and how we could be better supported in our community. It is a day where we usually would walk the streets proudly, however, this year is slightly different. Due to current world events, we won’t be able to walk the streets or attend any events that are usually run on this day however this does not mean we can’t still celebrate.

This year let’s bring our day to our communities by celebrating in your own unique way. Celebrate your individuality, who you are whether that be by decorating your home, posting online a picture or video of your special interest or using the time to catch up with fellow autistics. Let’s use today to educate the world about what autism means to us and let the world know that we are an amazing and creative worldwide community.

We may not be able to go out and celebrate however I would like to encourage you all to connect by letting us know how you are celebrating today in the comments below. These are difficult times for us all however this does not mean we can’t still connect and celebrate what makes us unique. I would like to finish by wishing everyone a happy and safe World Autism Acceptance Day.
