Neurodiversity display at library!

I have reserved a display case at our library for April, for a neurodiversity display. I figure that the public is going to be bombarded with "'autism awareness" stuff that generally is unfavorable, condescending, or geared towards parent support rather than supporting the people who actually have autism, so I wanted to counteract that if possible.

Now: the question is, what to put in this display? I definitely want the infinity ribbon to be a visual component.

P.S....I'm not new here, I just couldn't remember my password and changed my email. I used to be chamoisee. :-P

I would check this out:

Temple Grandin gives a Ted Talk about neurodiversity

It should give you some good ideas about how to talk to people and what you may want to include on your materials.

Here's a small idea. Title it "Autism Acceptance Month". I remember seeing that idea last April and liking it.
