Ambassador Spotlight:
The Super 6
The Super 6 are sixth-graders from Livingston, NJ, who have been Junior Ambassadors for several years. They have requested proclamations and made presentations at their local town council meetings, canned outside grocery stores to fundraise, and speak annually about the importance of autism awareness at local events. Thank you for your commitment to the autism community Super 6!
Talking Point - Start the Conversation
Encourage and Demonstrate Kindness

If you see a parent or caregiver with a child or adult with autism who is acting out, instead of staring or walking away, ask “Can I help?” Offer to let that family move ahead of you in a grocery store line or to help find their waiter in case they need to exit a restaurant.

You can be a role model for others and help alleviate a stressful situation. Use this talking point to start a conversation>>
