5 Things You Can Do This Autism Acceptance Month


Listen Later

Welcome to a special episode for Autism Acceptance Month 💛

Awareness is a good start — but this episode is all about what comes next: real acceptance. In this 10-minute chat, I’m sharing five simple but impactful things you can do this month (and beyond!) to support the Autistic and neurodivergent community.

From the symbols we use to the stories we amplify, every small shift makes a big difference. Whether you’re a teacher, parent, therapist, or ally-in-training — this one’s for you.

✨ Here's what we cover:
  • One easy action you can take every day in April
  • Why it’s time to ditch the puzzle pieces
  • The difference between awareness and acceptance (and why it matters)
  • How to shop and support intentionally
  • The power of listening — and amplifying — Autistic voices
  • Let’s move beyond performative posts and into real, consistent allyship — all year long.
  • 🔗 Resources & Mentions:
    • @teachingautism on Instagram for more neuro-affirming tips and resources

    • Autistic creators to follow (recommend adding a few you love!)

    • Neurodivergent-owned shops to support this April
