Autism acceptance should be a focus in schools year-round, not just in April. Here are 4 ways that districts can promote autism acceptance every day of the year: ✅ 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧-𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 - Autistic people are experts on their autism, and asking them for input makes for an inclusive learning environment. ✅ 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 - School discipline policies and procedures are usually written based on neurotypical student behaviors, and this often works against autistic students. ✅ 𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦 - This requires both autistic people and neurotypical people to put in equal effort to communicate and understand each other. ✅ 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 - Everyone needs to see neurodivergent people represented in a positive light. This can be done in several ways, including purchasing a curriculum that includes autistic characters and perspectives.
