A Grand Town to Visit
Clonakilty, Ireland, has become the first autism friendly town, all thanks to the organization AsIAm. Although Ireland is quite a bit away from Rimland, it is fantastic to see the initiative than an entire town has taken to create environments that are welcoming to individuals with autism. Over 200 organizations in the town worked together to become accredited as autism-friendly. This includes relaxation zones, quiet times, and the ability to bring service dogs to more locations. This is an incredible step forward in promoting neurodiverse communities and we can’t wait to see which American city is the first to join the movement! More information can be found in this article:
