Captain Autism The Autism Awareness Superhero

Nearly a quarter century ago, the Autism Society launched a nationwide effort to promote autism awareness, inclusion and self-determination for all, and assure that each person with ASD is provided the opportunity to achieve the highest possible quality of life. This year they want to go beyond simply promoting autism awareness to encouraging friends and collaborators to become partners in movement toward acceptance and appreciation.

They are embracing a new perspective. For over 50 years they have worked in communities (both large and small) to ensure their actions, through their services and programming, supported all individuals living with autism. They want to expand this work to focus on the rest of us – ensuring acceptance and inclusion in schools and communities that results in true appreciation of the unique aspects of all people. They would like to get one step closer to a society where those with ASDs are truly valued for their unique talents and gifts.

Join them in celebration for 2017 National Autism Awareness Month! National Autism Awareness Month represents an excellent opportunity to promote autism awareness, autism acceptance and to draw attention to the tens of thousands facing an autism diagnosis each year.

People who are suffering from autism are modern day superheroes, show them love and acceptance not only in the autism awareness month but throughout the whole year.
