Happy Autism Acceptance Day! That is what we call it in our house. 
I found myself entirely too emotional and fatigued to share the post I was planning to so instead I opted to share my children’s thoughts about this day. They do not truly have a thorough understanding of what this day and the month of April means for them — Daniel and Ariel are 9 and Joshua is 7. They are old enough to have feelings, thoughts, and opinions and I believe that it is important to try to cultivate that. I feel that each year and the more that we become socially interactive that it is important that they think about what autism means to them. I want them to have their own opinions and thoughts about Autism Awareness and express how they feel about Autism Acceptance. I came up with a few age appropriate questions to begin this journey of thinking about and processing this day/month.
