#high support needs

"I want a gf with autism :3" ok are you prepared to help them with hygiene tasks? Are you gonna help them with laundry and cleaning their room? Are you gonna be patient with them when they're using AAC? Will you comfort them through meltdowns? Or do you just want a gf who talks to you about dinosaurs and has a cute "neurodivergent aesthetic"?

Friends, I need your support. 💔

My grandmother urgently needs her medication, which costs €600.

She urgently needs an expensive treatment that we cannot afford. If we cannot buy her medication, she may be forced to undergo emergency surgery, and there is a serious risk to her life.

Please, I love my grandmother and I want her to stay with us. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to our €600 goal and gives her a better chance of getting the treatment she desperately needs.😭🙏

Please don't leave us alone. Your kindness, your donation, or even sharing our campaign could help save her life.💔💔

many autistic people need tasks broken into tiny steps to understand how do something

many autistic people need positive feedback in way that other think condescending

many autistic people childish and have childish interests

many autistic people have to always be supervised never alone because of risk of hurt self or get in dangerous situations

many autistic people have violent messy big meltdown, even in public

many autistic people struggle with speech always will maybe rest of life (non verbal, semi verbal, demi verbal etc.)

AND most of these autistic people higher support needs + level 2 & 3 autism, don’t forget or ignore us. can’t say “that not true just stereotypes” when it just symptom and sign of higher support needs higher level autism.

you want to raise awareness for lower support needs level 1 autism and yes good ok!!!! but not this way where throw HrSN level 2+3 autistic under bus.
