World Autism Acceptance Month-How To Help Someone Get Involved More On Autism Acceptance Month [April,2021]

06 Apr 2021

Description

DISCLAIMER: I am no medical doctor, I'm just your normal Jo Bloggs who's sharing her lived experiences with Autism that was called Aspergers.  If you see any warning signs/symptoms that may be related to any of the topics I share as of in the future, please seek a second opinion or treatment with a  medical professional. What I share with you in how I go about managing my autism will vary from person to person and that what may work for me, may not work for you and what will work for you may not work for me and vice versa. So, please be considerate while I give you all my advice and/or tips. This month of April as like every year is Autism Awareness and Acceptance month for many of us autistics. There is some conversation going on to what we should have this month to be called. I believe that there is already an awareness of people who has autism and that others are aware of this. I feel that there needs to be more accepting of others with autism. This month should be focused on more acceptance and or accepting of others that are different and basically, it should be every month not just April like any other holidays and/or celebrations that we celebrate together. The negative focus of autism awareness campaigns can take a toll on autistic people's mental health.  Not everyone recognizes the difference between a positive and negative campaign about autism. When you see someone supporting a harmful campaign, you may not be sure how to reach them. While not everyone is open to being convinced, many people are willing to listen if you approach them in the right way and with kindness. So, I am going to be real short and brief about this with a few steps to guide, assist you all this month.  *ABOUT ME* Hello, I'm Aspie Answers from NZ.I have Aspergers Syndrome that is now clinically known in the DSM5 Manual of Diagnostics as Autism.  I make videos as an advocate on autism and mental health from the perspective of an autistic adult.
