Today, we receive this resolution with hearts full of gratitude and commitment.
On behalf of Angel’s Mission, we would like to sincerely thank the County of El Paso for this meaningful recognition, declaring April as Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month. This is more than a symbolic gesture; it is a powerful statement that our community is moving toward greater empathy, inclusion, and respect for neurodiversity.
Autism is not something to be “fixed,” but something to be understood, supported, and embraced. Every individual on the spectrum experiences the world in a unique way, and it is our responsibility as a community to create spaces where they can thrive without barriers or judgment.
This recognition also honors every family that walks this journey with love, resilience, and courage. To the parents who navigate uncertainty with strength, and to the children, youth, and adults with autism who teach us new ways to connect, communicate, and see the world.
I would also like to extend a special thank you to our partners in this mission. To PdN Children’s Development Center and Autism Hope, thank you for your dedication, your collaboration, and for walking alongside us in building a more informed, compassionate, and inclusive community.
This recognition is an honor, but it is also a reminder that there is still work to be done. Awareness is just the beginning. True change happens when we move from awareness to acceptance, and from acceptance to action.
Let us continue working together to ensure that every person with autism is seen, heard, and valued. Because when a community chooses inclusion, everyone grows.
