April marks Autism Acceptance Month - and today marks World Autism Awareness Day, an awareness raising event weβll be marking with help from clients of our neurodivergent programmes.π§ π
Our aim is to highlight lived experiences, debunk misconceptions, create greater understanding of autism (and the many forms it takes) and draw attention to changes needed - in healthcare, workplaces and from the fellow public.
We hope to create greater acceptance of autism, whether as a peer or for yourself and encourage our community to make use of our support services should they feel like the right fit. π
We've posted an article on our website β with contributions by clients - tune in now: https://www.tynesidemind.org.uk/selfcare-and-wellbeing/stories/awareness-acceptance-action-for-autism/
