If you know someone with autism, which is likely considering the rate of autism prevalence in the U.S. is now 1 in 36, then you are probably aware that April is Autism Acceptance Month. This annual celebration of people with autism, denoted by fundraisers, rallies, and social media posts, used to be referred to as “Autism Awareness Month” until 2020, when the Autism Society of America replaced “Awareness” with “Acceptance” for the first time and is now urging the United States government to formally declare April Autism Acceptance Month.
