"Individuals with ASD have many diverse strengths, talents, and skills that would benefit employers." #evselpa #autismawareness #FunFact

"Acceptance is an action, and it goes beyond changing the language we use. In order to truly practice autism acceptance, autism organizations must also change how they think about autism, and how they work to represent autistic people." This is a fantastic read on the application of autism acceptance, emphasizing that autistic people do belong and deserve welcoming communities, inclusive schools & workplaces, and equal opportunities.
