Autism Acceptance. What is Autism Acceptance month? We chose that word because we need not only to be aware that there are autistic people in our families, but accept that they are who they are. The autistic community is accepting of “normal” people and it makes me wonder can “normal” people be accepting?

We need to accept all their eccentricities and their struggles to use that knowledge. Our communities would be so much more communal. Meaning those families could go to event’s and not be ostracized, not stared at, or judged harshly. Their autistic child could be playing with another child who is considered “normal.”
