Our First Autism Awareness Month - I Went On a Rant!

Autism Awareness Month is April and today we celebrated! This month marks an important time for families, communities, schools and governments to spread autism awareness and acceptance of autistic people and support them. I had high expectations since it was our first year participating and it was not what I expected. The lack of exposure in my own city was absolute proof that we are not nearly done with the mission to spread autism awareness and that means we are a long way off from autism acceptance.
Despite that we celebrated Leah and had a really nice day as a family!
Welcome to our family autism vlog channel. Come hang with us while we learn to parent our unique toddler diagnosed with Level 3 Autism and Global Developmental Delay. Not sure what the future holds but we know its brighter with a community and support!

The world outside of autism families don’t really celebrate it. A couple times they had some sensory friendly activities for us at the science center( not autism awareness month) and I was shocked. They need more stuff for us but they just don’t 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m autistic and an autism mom. Autism runs in my family and I want to rant with u lol

I found it very frustrating to see my local and provincial school board and government tweeting on twitter about autism blah blah but then doing nothing actually for it. Like they just wanted the likes and here's your medal for pretending to care.
