Dear Friends,
We are thrilled to announce the launch of
Listen Up,
the first of two public service announcements that we've created for
Autism Acceptance Month. Listen Up features Henry Frost, Amy Sequenzia,
and Kevin Barrett telling the world that the Autistic community can
speak for itself.
Help us
change the national conversation on autism from one that largely occurs
without autistic people to a conversation that frames our voices as
central. Acceptance is an action, as we've been saying all month, and
now it's time for us to take action and reclaim our seat at the table.
We're
very excited about Listen Up, about autism acceptance, and about the
prospect of seeing our PSA aired on television and virally online. So
listen up! Together, we can change the national conversation on autism!
Regards,
Ari Ne'eman
President
Autistic Self Advocacy Network
