Humans on the Autism Spectrum 2017: sharing the untold stories of Autism

Thursday, April 6th, 2017

Hi there!

This April, to mark Autism Awareness Month, the I CAN Network is revisiting Humans on the Autism Spectrum.

Humans on the Autism Spectrum aims to share the stories of people on the Autism Spectrum, and celebrate their individual strengths. Every day in April, we will share the story of a person on the Autism Spectrum on our Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram accounts.

We’ll be checking in with some of our incredible Humans from last year, and also introducing you to a few new faces. This year we’re focusing on stories of individuals on the Autism Spectrum overcoming adversity and proving people wrong.

The stories we are telling often go untold. Our stories are needed so that society can better understand how to embrace Autism, and create the inclusive society that we all deserve.

Here are three things that you can do to celebrate these stories and support us:

  • Invite your friends to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram.
  • Share our images on your page or in other groups, comment on the stories and tag your friends!
  • Consider making a regular donation to join our movement and help our mentoring programs reach more young people on the Autism Spectrum.

These simple steps will increase our impact in April and throughout the year.

We hope you enjoy sharing these stories with us.

Thanks,
The I CAN Team
