April is Autism Awareness Month to promote awareness around this specific issue. In the past, we have shared about Ability Ministry’s free and paid resources for churches and Nathaniel Hope’s Buddy Break program for respite care. But today we wanted to give you some awareness about what autism is.

Below I have two different videos, one a TED Talk that is great for adults on what autism is and the misconceptions that come with it. But I have included a second video for children because Sesame Street has done an amazing job in the last several years to help educate children about autism too. Please use both videos to help spread awareness for yourself and others.
