Today's Emoji-A-Day post celebrates a delicious duo – Peanut Butter & Jelly Day and Autism Acceptance Day (and Month)! 🥜🍞🍇 Let's explore how our unique experiences, from our taste preferences to how we navigate the world, make life interesting. Just like the endless possibilities of a PB&J, there's no single "right" way to experience life. 🌈
The Perfect PB&J
Nothing beats a classic PB&J! Creamy or crunchy? White bread or whole wheat? Fruity jam or smooth jelly? Share your perfect PB&J combo (with emoji, of course!) because just like a sandwich, there's no "right" way to experience the world! 🥜🍞🍇 + 🤔 = Mine! What's yours (see the Moji Challenge!)
The Grape Connection 🍇
Did you read our Grape Truth series yet? Just like there are countless grape varieties, each offering a unique experience, autistic people navigate the world in a variety of different ways. Some autistic people may find certain textures or tastes overwhelming, while others might experience them more intensely. It's important to believe someone when they tell you that they are autistic and to respect their lived experiences.🍇💚❤️
