Statement on Autism Acceptance Month

April 2nd, 2019

The DC Commission on Persons with Disabilities (DCCPD) joins our nation in celebrating Autism Acceptance Month. Autism, or Autism-Spectrum Disorder is a developmental disability that may affect an individual’s communication, use of senses, learning, and social behaviors. As a Commission, we are thankful to see the progress as it relates to Autism acceptance and recognition that autism is a natural part of the human experience.
