Today, I received a t-shirt I recently ordered from a member of a local book club. I’d spoken on one of my novels at her book club last September, and when I saw that she and her daughter were making t-shirts to promote understanding of autism in celebration of April’s Autism Acceptance Month, I ordered one right away. I’m excited to wear this shirt to advance acceptance for those who are autistic.
My middle-grade children’s book, A Nose Apart: The Fourth Adventure, has a main character who is autistic. For very personal reasons, it was important to me to bring awareness to the subject of autism through writing this story. Every person should be included, understood, and loved, but that is often not the case for those who are autistic. My hope and prayer is that awareness, understanding, and acceptance for those who are autistic will continue to grow in the years ahead. Let’s all do our part by promoting understanding in ways that are available to us – we should consider it a privilege to advocate for these precious souls.
