April is Autism Acceptance Month
Beyond acceptance, we need for work for INCLUSION!
Consider how assumptions we make may be based on an idea that all brains work the same.
Instead of using a microaggression:
“No one else seems to have a problem with this.”
Consider working for inclusion:
“How can I help make this accessible for you?”
Instead of responding with frustration:
“Why can’t you just do it?”
Consider working for inclusion:
“What is the best way for you to work on this goal?”
Instead of negating someone’s experience: “You don’t seem autistic.” or “We are all on the spectrum somewhere”
Consider working for inclusion:
“What does that look like for you? Are you willing to share with me?”
