World Autism Awareness Day is April 2nd

Communitas is a nonprofit that provides Direct Support Professional assistance in Poulsbo, Silverdale, Bremerton, and Port Orchard for adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities.

Did you know that World Autism Awareness Day is April 2nd?

This year the focus is on autistic people's contributions at home, work, the arts, and in policymaking.  Everybody is slowly moving away from the thought that autism is something to be cured or converted, with the focus being turned to including autistic people and advocating for their rights.  This is a major transformation for the neurodiversity community and the world.  Everybody deserves dignity, including those who may be neurodiverse.
