ALT This poster announces and promotes World Autism Acceptance Month 2026, led by the National Autistic Society and taking place in April 2026. It highlights a shift from awareness to acceptance, encouraging the public to better understand, support, and include autistic people in everyday life. Using the campaign hashtags #WorldAutismAcceptanceMonth and #ItsHowYouShowUp, the poster emphasises that true acceptance is shown through actions, attitudes, and meaningful support rather than words alone. The overall message is one of celebration, visibility, and advocacy for autistic individuals, calling on communities to actively show up and make positive changes that create a more inclusive society.
