Autism Awareness Month Ideas

Here are some quick and easy ways to help raise awareness this month!

Wear an Autism Awareness Button, Shirt, or Autism Awareness Jewelry. These can be found in Positively Autism's Shop or other websites such as I Love A Child with Autism and Buttons and More Ask permission to post a flyer in your local restaurants, donut shops, hair salons, etc. Positively Autism has two flyers to download: Flyer 1 | Flyer 2 Send a Free Autism Awareness Month eCard: http://www.123greetings.com/events/autism_awareness_month/ Write a letter to the editor of your favorite newspaper or magazine. Put an Autism Awareness Bumper Sticker on your car. Donate your favorite Autism book to your child's school or local library. Forward your e-mail of this month's issue of Positively Autism to a friend, co-worker, or family member. View free Autism conference and informational videos online from the Talk Autism Website. I particularly enjoyed the presentations by Jim Ball, Ed.D, BCBA. You can find his presentations by selecting his name in the "Author" section of Talk Autism's search box. Send a note of appreciation to your child's teachers, tutors, or therapists. Enter to win $500 worth of Autism books from Brookes Publishing Learn about Autism from an "insider," a person who has Autism. Some people who have shared their stories online include William Stillman, Dr. Temple Grandin, Amanda Baggs, and Brian R. King. Attend an Autism conference or online course. There are free online courses available from The Autism Society of America and Autism.About.com
