April marks the start of #WorldAutismAcceptanceMonth ☺️

Did you know that only 26% of autistic pupils feel happy at school? 😟
OMEP UK is happy to help spread awareness and acceptance of Autism, and we are keen to see what campaigns and events will emerge.

It would be so great if you could RT my Etsy shop in the twoots below/above. My🌲 jewellery orders usually make up a significant part of my income at this time of yr but the X exodus has meant I’ve only received 1 order-pretty scary income-wise. A small boost would help so much. Thankyou🌿
