Please note that this month is NOT about "autism awareness".

It's about accepting autistic people just the way we are. It's about listening to us. Learn about barriers and how you are making our lives harder by expecting us to act neurotypical. Learn about access needs. Realize that we are all individuals. Ask us what we need, don't assume (in)competence.

Don't light anything up blue, please!
Don't support Autism $peaks!
