AutismUp Face Covers Available
Stay safe and show your spirit by wearing an AutismUp kite logo neck gaiter! It's our own version of the Survivor buff, and doubles as a hair band and more while we can't make it to the salon or barber shop.The CDC suggests wearing face cloth coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain. This additional safety measure helps protect others in case you have coronavirus, but don't show any symptoms. You should still follow other protective measures as well, and closely follow the latest recommendations from public health officials and CDC to make an informed decision about the use of these masks.
