This day means a lot to me, and I hope that in a few years I will be
able to look back and see how much it has grown. It means a lot to me
because I am autistic.
All of my life, I have felt the expected
way of communicating to be a stressful performance because speaking just
doesn't feel right most of the time (because of sensory issues around
noise). Writing does, and the fact that this day exists makes me hopeful
for the day when every way of communicating is seen as acceptable and
relevant.
I don't really have much else to add, so here's a final sentence: Happy #ASDay.
To raising Autism awareness and Acceptance, and battling negative stereotypes about Autism. To advocate for the inclusion of Autistic people in the community. To offer a forum to broadcast our stories and thoughts, and to help the messages of Autistic people and non-Austistic allies reach as many people as possible.
