Who's Not on the (Bulletin) Board?

I stopped by Charlie's school yesterday and, as I walked in the front entrance, beheld a bulletin board devoted to Autism Awareness Month. Inside a border of puzzle ribbons were photos of Temple Grandin, Dawn Prince-Hughes, and other (famous and perhaps not so famous, but no less of interest) individuals on the autism spectrum.

Was there too much white space inbetween the cut-out photos of Grandin, Prince-Hughes, and the rest, or was it that something else was missing?

Charlie's class has three other students on the spectrum and, I would think, there are at least some other students mainstreamed in various classrooms throughout his middle school, with and without aides. From looking at the bulletin board, which had the words "Autism Awareness Month" at the top, you wouldn't know---be aware of---the fact that there are students on the autism spectrum in Charlie's own school. You might instead think that autism is something about people who (because they're on a bulletin board) must somehow be well-known, not something as close as one of your fellow students.

I don't know (and am seeking to find out) whose idea the bulletin board was and what the students had been taught about autism. I've been wondering if there were concerns about not wanting to "single out" Charlie and the other students on the spectrum due to "stigma" and concerns about "labeling." But somehow, it seems there must be some way to signal that there's autism right there in Charlie's middle school---without acknowledging this, autism "awareness" at the school has a bit (or a lot more) of a way to go.
