Autism Acceptance Month
Monday April 1
April is Autism Acceptance Month (formerly Autism Awareness Month) and it celebrates and advocates for the 75 million people around the world – about 1% of the global population – that are on the autism spectrum. Autism impacts interaction, communication, and development in varying degrees, and it affects each individual differently. Started in 1972, Autism Awareness month emphasizes public awareness to promote acceptance, celebrate differences, and foster inclusivity for autistic individuals. Throughout this month, we acknowledge that acceptance is an ongoing action, and there remains further effort needed to enhance representation and attentiveness to the autistic community.

Tiradentes (Brazil)
Sunday April 21
Joaquim Jose da Silva Xavier, known as Tiradentes, was a leader of the separatist liberation movement Inconfidencia Mineira, which aimed to free Brazil from Portuguese rule. After the institution of the First Brazilian Republic in 1889, the anniversary of his death (April 21) became a national holiday. While there isn’t much in the way of festivities on this day, public officials make addresses; schools, businesses, and banks close; and many Brazilians enjoy the holiday at home.
