People with autism might experience unique sensory processing differences that influence how they perceive and engage with their surroundings. Understanding these differences is crucial for promoting inclusivity and creating environments that support their needs. For this purpose we created Public Service Announcements and short films available on our YouTube channel. Watch this one about educating the public how people with autism see the world differently. Thank you for supporting our efforts to educate those around us. https://buff.ly/3wyWR3E #ComePlayWithUs® #YesYouCAN® #ChampionAutismNetwork #AutismAcceptance #AutismAwareness #SensoryFriendly #Autism #AutismSupport #DifferentNotLess #AutismCommunity #AutismFamily #AutismFamilyExperience #AutismSpectrum

People with autism sometimes calm themselves by rocking, head banging or flapping their hands. This is not something to be afraid of. Know if you see someone doing this, they are stressed and trying to cope with their surroundings. Be kind and offer a smile, please do not judge or be mean. For this purpose we created Public Service Announcements and short films available on our YouTube channel. Watch this one about educating the public on Coping and Calming.

Connecting with Autistic individuals in your community could lead to forming new friendships. A touching dialogue between an autistic mother and her daughter reveals a profound reality: forming friendships with autistic individuals brings authentic happiness and meaningful connections, rather than being an obligation or a challenge. https://buff.ly/4be12AF #ComePlayWithUs® #YesYouCAN® #ChampionAutismNetwork #AutismAcceptance #AutismAwareness #SensoryFriendly #Autism #AutismSupport #DifferentNotLess #AutismCommunity #AutismFamily #AutismFamilyExperience #AutismSpectrum #AutismAwarenessMonth
