April is National Autism Acceptance Month when we celebrate autism and neurodiversity with events and resources that spread awareness and promote acceptance.

Neurodiversity is a variation in things like sociability, learning, attention, and mood within the population. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) covers a group of complex neurodevelopmental disorders that often include repetitive behaviors and difficulties with social communication and interaction.

Throughout the month and all year long, celebrate and embrace our differences by learning something new, attending an event, and viewing the amazing artwork in the Artists and Autism: Shake the World exhibit.

The Artists and Autism: Shake the World exhibit features artwork celebrating autism and neurodiversity by talented local artists. This exhibit is hosted in partnership with the FSU Center for Autism and Related Disabilities (CARD) and Arts4All Florida. The showcase features both a virtual exhibit on the library’s website and an in-person exhibit on the 2nd floor of the Leon County Main Library.
