Autism has been featured in the news again, and I can tell you it's been a bit overwhelming for me and a lot of other people. People have said so many things about where autism comes from but don't have the facts to back it up. Some of the things that were said have hurt people in the autism community. I know it's rough, but the autism community will always bounce back. I have some friends in my corner who are there for me, and they have been extremely supportive. I can't do this alone so thank you to the autism community for having my back and take time for yourself. Have a bit of a mental break. That's exactly what I need right about now.
The Barefoot Autism Challenge takes place in April every year. Some autistic people prefer being barefoot as a sensory seeking activity. Founder Tyler Leech loves being barefoot and that's why he created this challenge. During April you post a picture or video of you walking barefoot and share why you advocate for those who are autistic using #barefootautismchallenge.
