I just had an idea I’d like to share with the @actuallyautistic community:
August could be a new Autism Acceptance Month, by and for #Autistic people, with no harmful messaging usually spread during April.
Plus, “August” and “Autistic” both start with “Au”, the chemical symbol for gold, a colour often used to oppose Autism Speaks’ blue campaign, along with #RedInstead. (Plus, gold is opposite blue on the colour wheel, too!)
What do you think?
