The Autism Society, in conjunction with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), has published Beyond Acceptance: Autism Inclusion and Equity, a guide for educators, parents, and students. The guide provides a history of autism in educational settings, explains the multifactorial nature of autism, and distinguishes between a medical diagnosis and an educational determination. The publication also includes autism-related specifics on the application of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, educational strategies, and cultural support.
