💙April is Autism Acceptance Month, a time to raise awareness, celebrate differences, and support individuals and families living with autism.

 

This month, we’d like to proudly spotlight one of our own — Noah Gatica, a 6-year-old resident who was diagnosed with high-functioning autism. Noah loves drawing and playing with his Hot Wheels, and he brings so much creativity and joy to those around him. 💙

 

Throughout the month, we encourage everyone to wear blue in support of autism awareness 

 

We would also love to celebrate more members of our community — do you have an autism warrior you’d like us to spotlight? Please email hleone@boroughofeastnewark.com with a picture and a mini bio. 💙
