Dive into Diversity (Awareness & Acceptance)

I am about to share a story I have written. It’s a message about “acceptance.”
October is Autism Awareness Month in Canada.
I wrote this story because “Awareness” is still needed, but “Acceptance” is needed even more.

“I’m not missing any pieces.

When they are willing to go to that extent for me, I am touched by their kindness and I’m incredibly grateful.
