We are beyond proud, but not at all surprised, of our amazing @DC_AMCHP teammate Mallory Cyr who was recognized by @deBeaumontFndtn as one of the #40Under40 in #PublicHealth! Amazing to see many other #TitleV Maternal & Child Health leaders recognized too! https://t.co/S24lEDRTy9

[AMCHP's Child & Adolescent Health Team @AMCHP_GrowingUp]

We received several pieces of artwork from Heidi-Lieb Williams for our State Public Health Autism Resource Center's (SPHARC) Celebrating #AutisticJoy opportunity. Learn more about this opportunity and how to submit at: https://t.co/fAX7nWMjFj #DisabilityPrideMonth #Neurodiversity

[AMCHP's Child & Adolescent Health Team @AMCHP_GrowingUp]

Learn more about the celebrating #AutisticJoy opportunity at: https://t.co/fAX7nWMjFj. Our State Public Health Autism Resource Center is still accepting submissions because we need to elevate the #LivedExperience of #Autistic people year-round, not just in #AutismAcceptanceMonth.

[AMCHP's Child & Adolescent Health Team @AMCHP_GrowingUp]

This #DisabilityPrideMonth, we wanted to lift up some of the submissions we received through our State Public Health Autism Resource Center's celebrating #AutisticJoy opportunity. We're excited to share a poem, "Autistic Joy," by Hari Srinivasan. #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodiversity

[AMCHP's Child & Adolescent Health Team @AMCHP_GrowingUp]

The idea of celebrating #AutisticJoy is not meant to minimize any of the challenges Autistic people face. It is meant to shift the perspectives of providers that care for Autistic people & the general public so they see that Autistic people are more than just their challenges.
