Volunteer diary: Acceptance is path to inclusion

(By Astrid Poshosyan, a City News Service volunteer from Armenia)

"Understanding is the key to acceptance, and acceptance is the path to inclusion."

This is the quote I saw first thing in the morning when I arrived to ELG's Early Intervention Center at Minhang District to volunteer for the event "Autism Acceptance: Moving Together." I saw different people getting ready to be part of something that united us all despite who we were, what professions we had, or where we all were coming from. I saw a community that joined kids with neurodiversity and their parents to share a day and use this opportunity to raise awareness.
