It's April 1st, which means it’s time to brace yourself—Autism Awareness Month is here, and it's about to flood your senses for the next thirty days.
Prepare for a whirlwind of opinions swirling around you. Some will passionately advocate for "Light It Up Blue," heralding it as a beacon of support, while others will vehemently criticize it, deeming it a misguided campaign. Amidst the chaos, voices will rise from rooftops, proclaiming the importance of Autism awareness, while others will counter with arguments for the necessity of acceptance over mere awareness.
And let's not overlook the debates surrounding the puzzle piece versus the infinity symbol. It seems everyone touched by autism will passionately defend their preferred emblem and its significance over the next month.
Here is the thing, every mention, gesture, and symbol counts. Whether you go for blue lights or another color, whether you prefer the puzzle piece or the infinity symbol, each decision helps keep the conversation of Autism going. It's not just about awareness or acceptance by themselves; it's realizing they're linked, each having their own important part to play in the 1 in 36 people who navigate the complexities of Autism every single day. Let’s make this month count.
