Go further than “Autism Awareness”: Appreciate autistic people for who they are

BY HANNAH ROACH '17

Autism Awareness Month is a misnomer. Chances are, you are aware of autistic people. The far more difficult question is whether or not you appreciate autistic people. A month that is supposed to be for the support, love and appreciation of autistic people becomes corrupted when we “light it up blue.”
