Autism Awareness Spirit Week
Help your child show support and awareness for autism acceptance each day the week after Spring Break. Did you know the autism acceptance symbol is a rainbow infinity sign? Learn about this symbol and more in this short “Autism 101 Acceptance” presentation created by our own autism specialist, Stefanie Thurber.
Mon, April 4 – Hat/Wild Hair Day
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 all our minds work in different, wonderful ways by wearing a fun hat and/or wild hair!
Tues, April 5 – Rainbow/Tie-Day Day
Neurodiversity Tuesday: To celebrate the beauty in the diverse spectrum of the human mind, wear rainbow and/or tie-dyed clothes to school!
Wed, April 6 – Wear Your Passion
What’s Your Passion Wednesday: One characteristic of autism is to show incredibly focused passion for topics of interest. What are you passionate about? Dress to show something you love!
Thur, April 7 – Wear Red or Gold
Thursday, Show Your Autism Acceptance: Love and acceptance go a long way. Wear red or gold to show your support and acceptance of autistic individuals!
Fri, April 8 – Wear Comfy Clothes
Sensory Friendly Friday: Autistic people often have a variety of sensory sensitivities. Dress up today in your most comfy clothes (including school-appropriate pjs), use as much natural light in your classroom instead of fluorescents as possible, and/or wear sunglasses

展示你对自闭症接受的星期四 爱和接受是需要很长的过程。穿红色或金色，来表示我们对自闭症患者的支持和接受！
感官友好的星期五 自闭症患者通常具有多种感官敏感性。穿上你最舒适的衣服（包括适合学校的睡衣），在教室里尽可能多地使用自然光而不是荧光灯或戴太阳镜。
