Most people in the U.S. know someone with autism – a friend, neighbor, classmate, or relative – because one in 88 American children (one in 54 American boys) is on the autism spectrum, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Here are a few ways you can support and raise awareness for autism this April,

Don't support Autism Speaks :- (Read here: https://autisticmama.com/do-not-support-autism-speaks)
Put up Yard Signs :- Make a sign for your front door or lawn: “Autism Awareness: Be Understanding. Be Aware.”
Say a Prayer :- If you’re the type of person who likes to pray, say a prayer for compassion and tolerance for individuals with autism and their caregivers.
Join the crowd :- Show up for an autism awareness walk or go to a rally supporting autism insurance reform in your state.
Be a Friend :- If you know a caregiver, call and chat for 2 or 3 minutes. You don’t have to talk about autism, you can just talk about what you ate for lunch and that movie you saw last night.
Stand Up, Speak Out :- If you overhear someone at work or in the grocery store saying something inconsiderate about autism or any disability, speak up. Write a letter to your local school board in support of autism education. Keep your letter short and sweet.
Be an Amazing Neighbor :- Many families in the autism community fall behind on lawn and home maintenance because of other needs at home, and they don’t hire a lawn service because of the high cost of therapy.
Be a Gracious Host :- Invite a person with autism over for a cup of tea, or a family with an autistic child over for a playdate. Ask what you can do to make everyone comfortable.
Get Yourself Adopted :- And the number one way to celebrate Autism Awareness Month is to spend some time with a person who has autism. Let someone adopt you as an aunt or uncle today. Don’t assume that your company is unwanted or that the person already has enough support from extended family.

"Autism teaches us to live in the moment, so seize the day: go for a walk, stomp in some mud puddles, play with Legos, learn something new with that person who is waiting for you right now."
