♾️ Happy World Autism Awareness/Acceptance Day! ♾️
Instead of seeing ourselves as broken or deficient or some piece missing, we see ourselves as diverse and beautiful. Each autistic's constellation of traits and struggles is going to be different. And so there is a phrase that says if you've met an autistic person, you've met an autistic person. We're not the same and yet we're similar
Hey, Zen mama. It's nice to hear from you. Welcome back and thank you for your kind words. They really were timely. Thank you. You mentioned struggling with not seeing things in your daughter sooner, and I'm sure you know these things
Ah. Hey, Christina. I love this post. I think it's great. So happy. Autism Acceptance Month. I think technically, I think it's the whole month. I know you were talking about the specific day, but anyway, in listening to Your swell, there was one thing when you were talking about the difference between someone saying that we have autism versus we are autistic

You hear people say, it's not who you are, it's just a label
