World Autism Awareness Month 2021 will be held from April 1st to April 30th 2021. Mayor Sylvester Turner and Council Member Amy Peck from the Houston City Council will be presenting the Autism Awareness Month proclamation to Adam Farris. Adam Farris will be speaking in regards to Autism Awareness, Disability Advocacy and Autism Advocacy on April 6th 2021 in front of the Houston City Council. Adam is doing this not only to raise awareness of autism but to bring awareness to others who have autism or other differing or unique abilities. If you are someone that has autism you can go and get that job, you can go and get that degree and you can go and do whatever you put your mind to. You just have to believe in yourself and meet your maximum potential.
The City of Houston Mayor's Office of Special Events and the City of Houston has officially stated that they are going to light up blue in honor of World Autism Awareness Month 2021 Those interested in holding or sponsoring events related to Autism Awareness Month should contact the Office of Special Events. Given that 1 in 54 Children has Autism, inspirational speaker and advocate with Autism Adam Farris has said, “Let us celebrate the abilities not the disABILITIES of each individual with autism.” Adam Farris also thanked Mayor Sylvester Turner, Councilwoman Amy Peck, and the Office of Special Events, for the proclamation of April as Autism Awareness month that he received for 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and now 2020, and 2021
