There is a 50-point gap in the autism community.Our National Autism Wellbeing Survey revealed that 89% of caregivers, educators and service providers say wellbeing is a "central focus" or "high priority." Yet, only 39% of autistic individuals say the people who support them highly prioritize their wellbeing.So, how do we bridge this gap and help the autism community flourish?This is where the opportunity lies.Rooted in the science of positive psychology, Proof Positive provides evidence-informed tools, resources, training and practical strategies designed specifically for the autism community.By learning and applying these wellbeing skills, we create a stronger foundation for autistic individuals to thrive.Join the free Autism Wellbeing Alliance and be part of the movement: proofpositive.org/join-us/#ProofPositive #AutismWellbeingAlliance #AutismAcceptance #PositivePsychology...
