Day 29: Acceptance Means

I’m a day late, but I will get this and one more in before the month closes.

To me, acceptance means:
  • We can keep researching autism but not try to 'cure' autistic people
  • Parents don't fear autism but get the early intervention needed
  • Teachers don’t make fun of autistic kids…
  • …so kids don’t make fun of autistic kids…
  • …and kids treat each other better…
  • …and autistic kids go to prom…or whatever they want to do
  • Colleges work hard to recognize and develop their talent
  • Employers tap that talent and develop it and get better managers and employee morale
  • Retail establishments make their places of business autism friendly
  • Neighbors help one another raise the kids in their neighborhood and treat autistic adults well
  • Families help each other
  • And one day, we don’t need Autism Awareness month, because writing a blog post a day is hard work!
