As the temperatures start to drop, we’re curious, what are you and your family getting into this season? 🍂💙

Whether it’s cozy days at home, outdoor activities, fall events, or trying something new, we’d love to hear what’s on your list!

What are you looking forward to this fall? 🎃

Everyone has their own way of relaxing and feeling comfortable. 💙

Whether it’s reaching for a favorite comfort item or getting lost in a favorite activity, what helps one person may not be the same for another.

What’s your go-to when you need to unwind? 🧸🎮

The truth is, autism doesn’t always look the way people expect. It can present differently from person to person, and it may not always be obvious from the outside.

You can’t always see autism, but that doesn’t make someone’s experiences or needs any less real. 💚

What’s one thing you wish more people understood about autism?

A month into the school year, it’s a good time to check in... not just on how things are going, but on how you’re doing, too. ❤️

Some days may feel easier than others, and that’s okay.

Take a moment to celebrate the small wins, give yourself some grace, and remember that you’re doing your best.

Parents, how are you and your family doing one month into the school year? 👇

Autism can look different from person to person.

There is no one “right” way to be autistic, and no two experiences are exactly alike.

Let's celebrate those differences, listen to individual needs, and make space for everyone to be themselves.

School is about so much more than grades!

It's about the little moments that help children grow like making a friend at recess, asking for help when they need it, trying something new, speaking up in class, or learning to do something on their own.

Every new skill and every small step forward is something worth celebrating. 🎉

What is one thing you hope your child learns or experiences at school this year?

Have you heard the word “stimming” before? 💙

Stimming is short for self-stimulatory behavior. It can include movements, sounds, or actions that help someone feel calm, focused, excited, or comfortable.

Rocking, hand-flapping, tapping, humming, or repeating sounds can all be examples of stimming.

Stimming can look different for everyone and it's often a natural way for people with autism to express themselves or manage how they feel.

Do you think more people need to know about stimming? Share this post and spread the knowledge ;)

We all think, communicate, learn, and experience the world differently. Instead of asking people to change who they are, let's create spaces where everyone feels respected, supported, and included. 💚

Children and young people with autism can face a higher risk of mental health challenges and suicidal thoughts.

Creating safe spaces where people can communicate, ask for help, and feel supported matters.

When a person with autism is struggling, we can…
👂 Listen
💙 Be patient
🗣️ Encourage communication
🤝 Offer support
❤️ Remind them they're not alone

Thinking about trying something new this school year? 🩰⚽🎨
