Autism Embracement Spirit Week

April 4th – 8th

Magnificent Mind Monday: Autism is a neurological variation, which means the brains of autistic people work differently than the brains of allistic (non-autistic) people – and that’s amazing! Celebrate how amazing it is that our minds work in different wonderful ways by wearing a fun hat and/or wild hair!

Neurodiversity Tuesday: To celebrate the beauty in the diverse spectrum of the human mind, wear rainbow and/or tie-dyed clothes to school!

What’s your Passion Wednesday: One characteristic of autism is to show an incredibly focused passion for topics of interest.  What are you passionate about? Dress to show something you love!

Thursday, Autism Embracement Day: Love and embracement go a long way. Wear red or gold to show your support of autistic individuals!

Sensory Friendly Friday: Autistic people often have a variety of sensory sensitivities. Dress up today in your most comfy clothes, use as much natural light in your classroom instead of fluorescent lights as possible and/or wear sunglasses.
