Autism Acceptance Resources for Children

Since we’re mid-way through Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month, it seemed like a good time to share some additional resources and ideas.

1. Explore the Autism Kit for Kids by the Organization for Autism Research: What’s Up with Nick video, lesson plan, poster, and more.
2. Attend a sensory-friendly event at a museum, movie theater, etc., or create your own using these suggestions from Sesame Street.
3. Find a suitable book about autism and get reading! There are a number of book suggestions here.
4. Check out the Choose Kindness: Autism Awareness Mini-Lessons by Autism NJ.
5. Watch a TV show or video with positive messages about autism using suggestions from Reading Rockets.

Have you been spreading the autism acceptance message this month? We’d love to hear about it.
