November is #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth 💙 We honor the autism families and caregivers who give so much of themselves often quietly, tirelessly, and without the respite they deserve.

You are seen. You are appreciated. You are valued.

Behind every autistic child, teen, or adult is a caregiver carrying a whole world. 💙
This #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth, we honor all the parents, siblings, grandparents, and loved ones showing up every day.

We welcome growing attention to autism’s causes. Families deserve answers. The federal report on acetaminophen is a step forward, yet far more is needed. Ahead of Nonspeakers Awareness Day, we encourage deeper research, pharma accountability & real support for autistic people.

😞 As of today, 63 #children have died from #drowning in #Florida. – that’s 5 more than last year at this same time. Of the children who were 4-17 years old, 47% had #autism.
#JULY usually has the highest level of childhood drownings. PLEASE monitor your kids
