🌈♾️ April is Autism Awareness Month, a time for further understanding, acceptance, and support for individuals on the autism spectrum.
The IDHS Division of Developmental Disabilities joins partners across the country in embracing the theme “Celebrate Differences,” highlighting the unique strengths, perspectives, and contributions people with autism make in public life. We also celebrate the families, caregivers, and organizations who support people with autism throughout the year – as well as the programs and services that strengthen our communities.
