April is Autism Awareness Month 💙
But let’s be honest—this isn’t just a “one month” thing.
For those of us living it every day, we’re not waiting on a calendar. We’re just common people doing the work of awareness, acceptance, and advocacy year-round.
Because this isn’t a trend—it’s real life.
Melissa competed in Special Olympics basketball in Iowa City 🏀
Win in game one, strong finish in game two—and a 2nd place medal overall 🥈
