April 2, 2025, marks World Autism Awareness Day, a global effort to raise awareness and promote understanding of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Autism affects individuals differently, but it’s important to recognize their strengths, talents, and unique perspectives. By fostering inclusivity and acceptance, we can build a more supportive world for all.

04/01/2025

April is Autism Acceptance Month, a time to reflect on the importance of understanding, embracing, and supporting individuals on the autism spectrum. This month serves as a reminder that autism is not something that needs to be "fixed" or "cured" but rather celebrated for its diversity and unique perspectives.
Autistic individuals bring a range of valuable talents, ideas, and experiences to the world, and it's crucial that we create environments that allow them to thrive. Acceptance involves recognizing the strengths and challenges that come with autism and working together to provide support that fosters inclusion and respect.
Let's move beyond awareness and focus on acceptance — fostering an environment where autistic individuals are seen, heard, and valued for who they are. This is a chance to learn more about neurodiversity, challenge misconceptions, and promote understanding in our communities.
During Autism Acceptance Month, take time to educate yourself, listen to autistic voices, and reflect on how we can all contribute to a more inclusive world. Together, we can make a difference and help create a society that truly celebrates everyone, regardless of how they experience or interact with the world.

What is Purple Day?

Purple Day, celebrated annually on March 26th, is a global event dedicated to raising awareness about epilepsy, a neurological condition affecting millions of people worldwide. It's a day to educate others, dispel myths, and support those living with epilepsy and their families.

Why Purple?

The color purple is often associated with epilepsy awareness due to its representation of courage and strength. On Purple Day, people are encouraged to wear purple to show solidarity and support for the epilepsy community.

How Can You Participate?

Wear Purple! Show your support by donning purple clothing or accessories.

Spread Awareness: Share facts and stories on social media to educate others about epilepsy.

Attend Events: Participate in local or virtual events to learn more and connect with others.
Donate: Consider contributing to organizations that support epilepsy research and provide resources for those affected.

Let’s unite and make a difference! Whether you have epilepsy, know someone who does, or simply want to support the cause, your involvement is invaluable. Together, we can increase understanding and reduce the stigma associated with epilepsy.

Today, we come together to celebrate a birthday and the remarkable person Chris Suyama.

It's a day to recognize his contributions, spirit, and the positive energy he brought to Pediatric Minds.

When Mr. Chris joined Pediatric Minds, he exemplified what it means to be a dedicated, hardworking, and compassionate team member.

Beyond his professional achievements, Mr. Chris's warm personality and team spirit set him apart. His dad jokes were truly one of a kind.

In times of need, Mr. Chris was one of the first to offer a helping hand. His empathy and generosity radiated every day. Mr. Chris taught us the true meaning of friendship and showed us what it means to unconditionally be there for one another.

On this special day, we celebrate Mr. Chris's birth and express our gratitude for his presence in our lives.

To Mr. Chris, thank you for all the smiles, the laughter, the love, and the lessons.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Chris🎉🎂💙
