#IAmMe Video Series
The Autism Society of Greater Akron (ASGA) is joining the Autism Society of America to collectively advocate for April to be changed from Autism Awareness, to Autism Acceptance Month!
As part of this campaign, we are launching #IAmMe, which seeks to empower individuals with autism by high- lighting strengths as we celebrate differences.
