April is Autism Acceptance Month!

This April, the Autism Society Maine #CelebratesDifferences for Autism Acceptance Month. Everyday, we work to create connections, empowering everyone in the Autism community to live fully. Be the connection this April to spreading awareness for early diagnosis, promoting inclusion in the greater community, and practicing acceptance in everyday life. Make a donation in support of Autism Society of Maine.

One in 36 children are diagnosed with Autism. As the fastest-growing developmental disability in the US, you or someone you know and love is a part of the Autism community. Be the connection this April by supporting the Autism Society of Maine in our quest to educate, advocate, and support the Autism community

Educators,  would you like to have a presentation done in your classroom around autism?   Teaching kids about autism will help them better understand their classmates who might appear odd, or different.  The Autism Society of Maine is offering to send an Autism Information Specialist to your school and present to your class, second grade through eighth grade.  

Depending on the grade level the presentation can be anywhere from 20 minutes to 30 minutes.  ASM will provide materials. Reach out to ASM infospec@asmonline.org if you’re interested.
