We need more than Autism Awareness--We Need inclusion
April 2 is Autism Awareness Day and has been so since 2007 when the United Nations general assembly passed a resolution confirming April 2 as World Autism Day. Autism Awareness once a year is not enough autism awareness. We need autism Inclusion 365.
As the name indicates, we practice not simple autism awareness but autism inclusion 365 days a year. How does that work? Include autistic people in the group. Develop a developmentally diverse group with neurotypicals and various developmental diversities. Developmental Diversity and inclusion take autism awareness to the next step because being aware of autism are not good enough. We must include them in our communities.
What types of things can we do to be more inclusive? We can do all sorts of things to bring autism awareness, but inclusiveness is the next step. Are autistics included in the classroom or segregated? Are autistics included in everyday social activities? Remember that there may be an autistic in your community or small group.
