Autism Society of Southern Arizona executive director Brie Seward: “Be more inclusive within society and you’re creating spaces that are equitable and friendlier for those that maybe feel more isolated.”
TUCSON, Ariz. — Autism affects everyone differently, but it is affecting more people every year in Arizona.
“I think it’s one of those like, 'That’s not me. That’s not my life. I don’t understand it. It’s something different,” Mathews said. “It could be you. It could be your brother. It could be your son. It could be your nephew. It could be your best friend’s kid. It could be anyone.” The Tucson Roadrunners are one example: the hockey team will host an Autism Acceptance Night on Saturday, April 2, including a sensory room, earplug distribution and a quieter gamely atmosphere in order to be less overwhelming for those with autism.
