In celebration of Autism Acceptance Month, Team AgLearn joins the Office of National Autism Coordination (ONAC) within the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) to honor the contributions of people on the autism spectrum and the autism community to our nation and the world. We join the United Nations and the U.S. government in recognizing the needs of people on the autism spectrum and their families. Team AgLearn acknowledges the need to support, understand, accept, include, and empower people on the autism spectrum.
Today, misconceptions of autism and the frequency in which people are excluded, threaten access to the vital information, resources and support autistic people and their families need. This month and beyond, join Team AgLearn to stand for a world where autistic people are recognized and have the opportunities they deserve.
