“Awareness is knowing that somebody has Autism,” said Christopher Banks, CEO of The Autism Society of America. “Acceptance is when you include a person with autism in your activities.”Mar 27, 2023"
"What is the difference between autism awareness and acceptance?

Acceptance doesn't assume that a difference is a weakness and allows people to decide if they want support and what kind of support would be most helpful to them. Apr 4, 2023"
