aspie-rationscomic:REBLOG. DO NOT REPOSTApril 2nd is Autism Awareness Day. People areaware of autism now, some of them even accept it, but how many actuallyappreciate it? So many people see autism appreciation as “this science/acting/musicalgenius has added so much to society! We must appreciate them!” Okay, but whatabout those of us whose talents aren’t as easily seen, or marketable? Those whoaren’t in the spotlight?We should appreciate the autistic people we know in our dayto day life. Every autistic person is awesome, and it’s not in spite of ourautism, but because of our autism. It’s because I’m autistic that I am who Iam. If someone appreciates me I would want them to also appreciate my autismbecause it’s part of what makes me me.To reach autism appreciation it’s going to be a fight. We’regoing to have to keep climbing. There are so many who want to drag us down.They see us as different and in need of fixing. They see having an autisticchild as something to be mourned instead of celebrated. We need to celebrate.We need to drown out their cries of sadness with our cheers of joy.We are autistic, and we will never stop climbing! -- source link
