🌟 Autism Awareness Day🌟
We have 3 fantastic students in the Olympia Transition Program with autism: Dawson, Paul, & Lelia. Today, we shine a light on the incredible strengths, talents, and perspectives of individuals with autism. Autism is not a disability—it’s a different way of thinking, experiencing, and interacting with the world.
At Olympia, we celebrate the uniqueness of every student. Let’s show our support by learning, listening, and embracing inclusivity. A small act of kindness, a moment of understanding, or simply being a friend can make a world of difference! 💙
💡 Ways to Show Support:
✅ Wear blue to spread awareness
✅ Learn about autism and the importance of neurodiversity
✅ Be kind, be patient, and be a friend to everyone
Together, we make our school a more inclusive and supportive place for all! 💙♾️
