DAY ONE
AUTISM ~ How do we learn about, understand, and face autism? How can we become ‘empowered’?
< My Thoughts > Here are some ways which may help –
Autism is a highly sensitive, multidimensional way of looking at the world.
The ‘autistic’ brain, with its unusual neuroanatomy, is somewhat of a mystery because here is so much that we do not know about it.
What we ‘do’ know is that autism is a developmental disorder with ‘no’ apparent cure. Sometimes the ‘autistic’ brain sends mixed messages which confuses the person’s perception of the environment.
< My Thoughts > We learn from those who have gone before us.
There is such wonderful insight in the book –
The ABCs of Autism Acceptance by Sparrow Rose Jones, eBook 2016. Extended Review and LINK on my website (Find on MENU).
Here are some excerpts –
“I am an Autistic adult, so all those messages of despair are about me and people like me. I hear the terrible things that are said about Autism and those of us who are Autistic and I have to wonder if the people saying those things believe we don’t have feelings. Or maybe they think we’re too far gone to ever hear what they’re saying about us. But they are wrong.”
“Often, I hear people rejecting the notion of Autism acceptance because they are mistaken about what it actually is. They think it means giving up and doing nothing to make a person’s life better. They think of it as sinking beneath the waves and drowning.”
“Autism acceptance is seeing us as whole, complete human beings worthy of respect. Autism acceptance is recognizing that we are different and helping us learn to work within our individual patterns of strengths and weaknesses to become the best people we can be, not trying to transform us into someone we are not.”

AUTISM ~ How do we learn about, understand, and face autism? How can we become ‘empowered’?
< My Thoughts > Here are some ways which may help –
- Try to greet each day as a ‘new’ day.
- Remain resilient, both you and your person.
- Allow yourself to ‘rethink’ your goals and expectations.
- Be okay with times of disappointment or discouragement… but never give up.
- Discover how to make autism ‘simple’ while knowing it is so ‘complex’.
- Learn everything you can, even if it means constantly changing your ‘perspective’; or, making many ‘paradigm’ shifts.
