I accept autism as a part of life because I'm autistic and I wouldn't be the same person if I wasn't. The challenges, fumbles, and even pain all are a part of my life - sensory overloads dictate what I want to do and avoid, but that's who I am. Neurodiversity is apart of life and it's definitely part of my life and I'm grateful I get to experience the world in my own. I can't imagine my life without special interests and being hyperpassionate and my brain going at a million miles an hour.

Seeing as World Autism Awareness Acceptance Day is coming up on the 2nd of April hereâs some reminders for allistics (non-autistic people)!
Do not support Autism Speaks, they treat autism like a disease and a burden and talk over actual autistic people when we disagree with them. Instead consider supporting organisations run by autistic people, such as the Autistic Self Advocacy Network and the Autism Womenâs Network!
Support #RedInstead not #LightItUpBlue. (#LightItUpBlue was started by Autism Speaks while #RedInstead was started by autistic people as an alternative).
Donât use the puzzle piece to represent autism (again, Autism Speaks does this - implies autistic people are a âpuzzleâ needing to be solved). Many autistic people prefer to use the rainbow-coloured infinity symbol!
Donât tell autistic people to use âperson first languageâ (i.e. âperson with autismâ as opposed to âautistic personâ). Let them decide how they wish to describe themselves!
Autism has most likely always existed, it just wasnât recognised until the early 20th century. Also no, autism is not caused by vaccines.
Remember that autistic children become autistic adults. Autism is stereotyped as being a childrenâs disability and resources are often tailored exclusively to autistic children and/or their families, completely ignoring autistic adults.
The terms âlow functioningâ and âhigh functioningâ are generally considered to be outdated in addition to being problematic in that they are often used to deny autistic people resources/self-agency (i.e. âyouâre too high functioning to need help!â âyouâre too low functioning to know whatâs best for yourself!â). Autism is a wide spectrum which doesnât have just a âhigh functioningâ and âlow functioningâ end but rather several different areas which we may or may not struggle with (e.g. sensory processing, social interaction/communication, organisational skills, etc) which can even differ depending on our mood, stress levels, etc.Â
Please donât use âautismâ/âautisticâ as an insult (or r*tard/r*tarded).
Please donât tell us how we âdonât look autisticâ. Thatâs not a compliment.
Please be patient with autistic people if weâre having trouble understanding what you mean or having difficulty accomplishing certain tasks. Weâre trying our best!
Ask an autistic person you know about their special interest(s)!
Listen to autistic people when we talk about our experiences!
Many thanks if you reblog this post! Also, any autistic people please feel free to add to this post! (or point out if Iâve made any mistakes) â¤ď¸

(Iâm sorry if the closed captions donât show up. I have fought with YouTube about it for years and they keep disappearing randomly! Itâs only on this video where they either work or are turned off, on my others itâs either my captions or their terrible automatic ones and I never know which it will be! Fix your accessibility, YouTube!)
