From the Public Health Campus on Cedar Newsletter, April 2022.

National Autism Acceptance Month is observed annually in April to promote awareness of autism and empower people living with this condition and their families to reach their highest potential. Autism Acceptance Month coincides with the Autism Society’s annual #CelebrateDifferences campaign, which focuses on sharing information and resources to help people become more aware of autism, promote acceptance, and be more inclusive in daily life.

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by difficulties with social communication and social interaction. Symptoms are present early in a child’s development. With early diagnosis and the right support, people with autism can learn to manage their symptoms.
