Autism Awareness Spirit Week

April 18, 2023

Autism Awareness Spirit Week will take place from April 17th to April 21st. This is a special opportunity for us to come together as a community and celebrate neurodiversity, promote awareness, and support those on the autism spectrum. 

 Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects mental, behavioural, and social development. The degree to which autism impacts an individual is unique to them since each person’s circumstances are unique. Symptoms appear as early as the first 12 months of life and can last throughout life. Many people with autism can have their symptoms and quality of life improved over time due to strong support networks and coping mechanisms and routines that work for them.

As part of this event, we encourage you to read and discuss neurodiversity. Expanding our knowledge and understanding of different neurotypes can build a more inclusive and supportive community. So, let's learn together and embrace the beauty of diversity!

To show our support for Autism Awareness Spirit Week, we encourage you to wear blue during the week and share your photos on social media with the hashtag #Neurodiversity_auca. Let's make some noise and spread the word about our event!

We also have a Kahoot event scheduled for Tuesday, April 18th, at 12:05 in AUCA Forum. This will be a fun and interactive way for you to test your knowledge of autism and neurodiversity while competing with your fellow students.

We hope that you will join us for this exciting event and show your support for neurodiversity. Let's come together and celebrate the unique perspectives and talents of individuals on the autism spectrum.
