Far too many #autism families live in isolation to limit risk and avoid unsafe interactions. Recognizing this is the first step toward building safer, more inclusive communities.

From all of us at NASC, have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

#autismsafety #gratitude

Keep Thanksgiving safer by increasing home security, assigning one adult for supervision, reducing sensory overload, supporting restricted eaters, using visual schedules, planning breaks, and preparing relatives in advance. A little planning goes a long way. #autismsafety

That's the world.

And protections shouldn’t silence dignity. Both must exist together. #autismsafety #saferworldforautism

A world full of kindness is the kind of world all of humankind deserves. <3
