A WIRRAL charity is urging our readers to get out there and active in order to promote autism acceptance next month. Autism Together is celebrating Autism Acceptance Month throughout April…. The month of events will continue the celebrations that take place each year on April 2, World Autism Awareness Day. Sue Stubbs, Autism Together's chief executive, said: "We've listened to comments received via social media during awareness months of the past, when many people asked us to consider altering our message in order to campaign for autism acceptance. "In terms of our message during the month, it’s all about understanding, support and acceptance for autistic people, something we thoroughly believe in as a charity and service provider.”… New for 2022, Autism Together is also encouraging schools to get involved through a separate ‘Schools Challenge’ where pupils can be sponsored to undertake 54-minutes of exercise or sporting activity. … Schools will also be able to access free downloadable resource packs throughout Autism Acceptance Month, including a recorded presentation for children and younger people about autism, with a focus on understanding and acceptance of people’s differences….
