This article is being published in honor of Autism Awareness Day - but for me, every day should be a day of awareness. The writer, a participant in the Rothschild Partnerships' Kav Hazinuk leadership program, shares their personal journey of having a sibling on the autism spectrum and the importance of understanding and acceptance. They discuss their decision to give a talk to seventh-grade students about autism and inclusion, emphasizing the need to see beyond surface differences and make space for individuals with disabilities. The writer highlights the positive qualities of their brother and encourages others to listen, ask questions, and truly see those who are different.
