As we celebrate World Autism Month and the millions of people touched by autism, we're focused on our efforts to connect through kindness, even

someone's day from the comfort of your own home, and we're
counting on you to help us complete one million acts of kindness for
people with autism this year.

P.S. If you're like us, you're hopping from Zoom call to Zoom call to stay connected. Check out these kindness-themed virtual backgrounds to keep the kindness front-and-center: [link removed]

grateful for the kindness of our partners at the ACC for making this
content available free of charge: [link removed]
