April is Autism Awareness Month — as a developmental disability with years of stigma, this is an important time to learn and reflect. Autism Spectrum Disorder can impact a person’s social skills, self-regulation abilities and communication. Much of the mission of Autism Awareness Month is for non-autistic individuals to learn more about autism and foster autism acceptance in our lives and our society.
