It’s April.

That means it’s “Autism Awareness Month,” a month created and sponsored by Autism Speaks.

Please, don’t support this month. Don’t wear a puzzle piece. Don’t “light it up blue.” Autism Speaks is a hate organization. Do not support them in any way.

Perhaps take this as an opportunity to promote Autism Acceptance Month, sponsored by the Autism Self-Advocacy Network. Listen to actual autistic people this month. Spread REAL knowledge about what autism is and how it affects those who have it.

Be a real ally for real people. Because we don’t want blue t shirts. We want acceptance.
