HAPPY AUTISM ACCEPTANCE DAY!!! Be sure to wear red or yellow instead, as wearing blue supports Autism Speaks, an organization that has been accused of stigmatizing people on the autism spectrum. Still, spread the acceptance of autistic people! I am autistic. And please don't be offended, but I chose Dr. Alphys to be in this project, because she does show signs of being on the autism spectrum. She's still a fun character, though! And if you are on the autism spectrum, YOU ARE AMAZING! Spread the acceptance of those on the autism spectrum, and take action to stop hate and stigma against those who are on the autism spectrum! To celebrate Autism Acceptance Day, if you are autistic, flap your hands, stim, feel something that is comfortable, anything else that shows you accept your autism and your pride for being autistic! Talk to autistic people like me. If you remember Sesame Street, the show now has its own autistic character, a girl named Julia.

All the sprites in this project are based on Undertale, a game created by Toby Fox. The music in this project is a modified part of the final movement of Symphony No.9 (otherwise known as "Ode to Joy"), composed by Beethoven, who is surprisingly thought to have autism, though this is unknown. Here is the link to the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kcOpyM9cBg Have an AUsome Autism Acceptance Day and Month!
