April is World Autism Acceptance Month 🌎💙🩷 The theme this year is 'It's How You Show Up'.

We asked our Performing Arts Centre crew with autism to tell us one simple change their friends could make to support them, and we asked those without autism how they show up for the autistic people in their lives.

Then, our fabulous friends at The Arty Giraffe took the quotes and turned them into works of art!

~ Happy Autism Acceptance Month from the Living It Up team ⭐
