Grayson County proclaims April 2026 as Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month
Summary
County Judge Bruce Dawsey read and the Commissioner's Court unanimously adopted a proclamation recognizing April 2026 as Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month, citing local service providers including Prince ABA Counseling and the NAEP project.
County Judge Bruce Dawsey read a proclamation at the Grayson County Commissioners Court meeting declaring April 2026 to be Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month in Grayson County and the court adopted the measure unanimously.
The proclamation, read aloud by Judge Dawsey, says Grayson County "recognizes that neurodiversity is a natural and valuable part of the human experience" and calls on residents to "celebrate the talents of individuals with autism" and to work toward inclusion. It cites local organizations by name — Prince ABA Counseling and the NAEP project — for providing services and augmentative and alternative communication devices to help children with communication challenges.
Judge Dawsey invited representatives of the autism-awareness group to accept the proclamation. The court recorded the adoption as unanimous during the meeting. The proclamation text encourages county residents and officials to support inclusion and resources for neurodivergent people and their families.
The adoption does not create a county program or budget line item by itself; it formalizes the court's recognition of community organizations' work and encourages continued local support.
