🎆Happy 249th Birthday, America! 🎆

From all of us at Autism Community Network, we’re celebrating Independence Day 2025 and a quarter-millennium of progress, promise, and possibility.

As we honor 250 years of America, we’re reminded that true freedom includes the freedom to be yourself—to learn, play, speak, and grow in a world that sees your worth.

Whether you're enjoying fireworks or favoring quiet connection, we wish you a joyful, safe, and inclusive Fourth of July.
