What does autism acceptance mean to you? with autism acceptance month approaching soon, i've been seeing more internet posts regarding how to approach autism. A common point that is brought up is that autistic people don't need to be fixed, society needs to change to accommodate autism.
Acceptance for me means understanding where i am at this moment in terms of my abilities, strengths, challenges, what i need, and learning to be ok with it, not compare my journey to others. Acceptance does not mean i give up and say “oh well, at least i tried,” then proceed to hide in my parents’ basement for the rest of my life.
Often it’s kind of a difficult question for me to answer, not because i believe it’s too personal of a question, but because i’m not sure how to compare myself to a human without autism. Since it’s something i was born with, the way i experience, comprehend and interact with the world is quite different than for someone without autism.

Autism spectrum disorder is a complex disorder that lasts throughout a person’s life. Autism is called a developmental disorder because issues start before age three, during the critical period of development, and it causes problems in the way a child develops, learns, and grows.
Until a few years ago, women and autism were rarely mentioned in the same sentence. Older research speculated that the female-to-male ratio was anywhere.
Changes in certain genes increase the risk that a child will develop autism. If a parent carries one or more of these gene changes, they may get passed to a child (even if the parent does not have autism).
Just wanted to share that duo is such a great tool specifically for me, being autistic. It allows me to learn a language (or several of them) in a strictly structured, repetitive way with constantly increasing difficulty and expanding vocabulary without the three things that either stopped me from doing a language course or made me fail at school regularly (languages or otherwise).
I’d never imagined that someone like me — a formerly married psychologist with three grown sons — would be on the autistic spectrum.
Time does pass very quickly for our kids, and it can be overwhelming to think about.

Many, particularly health and social care professionals, feel that what is called person-first language should always be used to emphasise my personhood, which means calling me a person with autism. However, there are others, mainly autistic people, who prefer identity-first language, which means calling me an autistic person.

I might take a little more laid back approach, but living at the beach does that to people. 😉 if you see signs of autism or any developmental disabilities mention it to your pediatrician.

Hello, background on asd some people with asd (autism spectrum disorder)[i love how a, s and d are right next to each other on the keyboard, it makes it so much easier.
After i described it a bit, my boyfriend remarked upon how similar it sounds to what people with parkinson’s experience.

Autism often means that it's hard for me to function day-to-day.

The monster in me that sleeps with one eye open woke suddenly as it always does when someone casually dismisses the profound suffering autism causes. I think about the video i have of eve at 5 months old, laughing and cooing and making funny noises with the voice she had just discovered.
Mary: i would just be open to let me see exactly what you're doing. We're going to do it our way and there's going to be crying, then that's not the type of autism around approach.
