Just Start a Conversation About Autism
You don’t need a blog with lots of followers or to speak to hundreds of people to make a difference.
You don’t need to have written a book or to pound the pavement with your message.
Just start a conversation.
It’s April 1. Our eleventh Autism Awareness Month. And with awareness comes acceptance. Understanding. Inclusion.
This morning I am headed to Coop’s school to read a book to the fifth graders, his peers, about autism.
To make something different seem less confusing and unknown.
Just start a conversation about autism. That’s all I ask of you.
Autism is not a dirty word. It’s not a bad word.
Explain to your kids. Educate your grandparents. Ask your Human Resources department to do something.
Share a blog. Read an article. Invite your neighbors over.
That’s it. If everyone started a conversation think of the difference we could make.
Happy April all.
