Love comes in many forms, sparking countless questions—What is love? How do we find it? Love is so complex that the Ancient Greeks had eight different words to describe it. This Valentine’s Day, let’s celebrate all expressions of love—not just romantic love. There’s playful love, deep friendships, love for family, and a passion for life itself. Most importantly, remember: You are special. You are worthy of love. You are loved. ?? These words come from Jennifer Cook, autism advocate, Netflix’s “Love on the Spectrum US” autism expert, and bestselling author of The Asperkids (Secret) Book of Social Rules and eight other titles. Jennifer joined us for the incredible grand opening of the Northport Performing Arts Center, where she saw firsthand how our inclusive programs are transforming lives. ??
