Help NCSA Spread #AuthenticAwareness During Autism Awareness Month

Written By Jill Escher, President

For April 2020’s Autism Awareness Month NCSA will be spreading #AuthenticAwareness of autism.

If you are willing to share your story/fears/hopes/advice in 50-300 words, with image(s), please email us directly at info@ncsautism.org before March 13. We will use these images and blurbs in social media and our blog.

Whether jolly or anguished or anywhere in between, it need only be true and heartfelt, what you want the community to know. We are happy to anonymize if preferred. 

Severe autism must not be hidden in the shadows, stigmatized or trivialized—your stories are so important and NCSA will always support #AuthenticAwareness. Thank you!
