April is Autism Acceptance month, and I was very happy to be part of this round of the Manis for Humanity collab. With this theme, you could go in so many directions to discuss this important subject. As an educator myself, who's also married to another educator with a doctorate in special education, we are ardent supporters of special education. I have been blessed to have worked with dozens kids on the spectrum, so this one was extra important for me. Like most things, we're on a constant journey of evolution and improvement, and as we learn more and talk more, the awareness and acceptance communication strategy can evolve and change from what we once thought was correct, to something more nuanced and respectful.
Having gold represent Autism due to it's elemental symbol of AU is really cool, and I love the evolution of the spectrum being represented with a rainbow and the infinity symbol. I asked some of my students what they preferred and they all really liked using gold and hadn't heard thay one before. I obviously love a rainbow representing a spectrum.

Damn, that color fade is CLEAN. Well done.
I have many, many friends and family on the spectrum. This is a great one!
So pretty OP!
My kids are both ND (ADHD and AuDHD) and this warms my heart. I’m so grateful that this generation of neurodiverse kids is getting more diagnosis and support, and that their peers are being taught understanding and acceptance.
Love these as an autistic laquerista!♾️🌈 thank you for the support❤️
So cool to see a mani like this to shine some light on it, as it’s still so misunderstood by so many people
Autistic girlie thanks you for not doing the puzzle piece 🙌🏻 beautifully executed as always
