Posted @withregram • @pdx_autistic_dude Imagine credit to @autistic_truth. So April is coming up, which is often considered "Autism Awareness Month", but as an autistic person, I don't just want "awareness", I want acceptance. I want a society where autistic children and adults don't have to be forced to mask. I want a society that understands and accepts autistic people for who they are. And seriously though, don't "Light it up blue". Listen to autistic people, don't support @autismspeaks. Go Red instead, or Gold, or something that's not supporting Autism Speaks. I really can't stress this enough. #aspiesofinstagram #autism #aspie #aspielife #autismlife #aspergers #aspergerslife #ActuallyAutistic #spectrum_inspired #autismmom #autismfamily #autismmum #AutisticAdultsExist #autisticlife #autismawareness #autismacceptance #sensory #sensoryissues #neurodiversity #neurodiverse #neurodivergent #lightitupblue #redinstead #autismspeaks #autismspeaksdoesntspeakforme https://www.instagram.com/p/CbleZmYPfGC19odFxqK4_wcC_726decwlwo2gg0/?utm_medium=tumblr
