Mocha Autism Network Community Support Group Meeting Join us on April 20th for a virtual conversation about parenting and autism.

The best way to develop more inclusive communities is to learn from our young people.

Through organizations like the Youth Auxiliary groups:
Pearlettes (4-8)
Amicettes (9-13)
Archonettes (14-18)

We can craft a more inclusive world.

Children with autism become adults with autism. Adults with full lives and real jobs.

Here are some tips and tricks to building an inclusive workplace.

Submissions from the women of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated.

Just like NeuroTypical people, don’t act based upon YOUR belief of how to treat a person on the spectrum.

Asking questions will remove your doubt.
