19 Autism Awareness Sayings & T-Shirt Design Ideas to Inspire Acceptance
About 1% of the population is on the autism spectrum. 1% may not seem like a lot, but it works out to 3 million+ Americans, so it’s important to raise awareness and inspire acceptance of these unique members of society. Autism Awareness Month quotes, printed on t-shirts and customizable giveaways, are perfect reminders for teachers, students, and the public to focus on the positives of autism.
