Disability and Progress- April 2, 2026- Autism Acceptance Month

This week, Sam and Charlene are joined by  Dr. Paula Pompa-Craven. April is Autism Acceptance Month, and with one in 19 kids being diagnosed on the autism spectrum in California—versus a nationwide average of 1 in 31—it is one of the highest rates of prevalence in the U.S.  E S S C is launching the Every1 With Autism Belongs campaign which celebrates inclusion and individuality by reminding the world that it's not one-size-fits-all for people with autism and that Every1 is unique.
