What you should know about autism

What you should know about autism

There are a lot of misconceptions about autism.

As the climate activist Greta Thunberg (who is on the autism spectrum) points out, autism isn't "something you have," nor is it a disease. Rather, the Centers for Disease Control defines autism as "a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication, and behavioral challenges."

So let's all join in spreading awareness. It could literally save lives. Autism is not a disease. It's not something you 'have'. It's definitely not 'caused' by anything like vaccine or diet. 6/7

It simply means that you are a bit different from everyone else. And in a world where everyone strives to act, think and look the same - being different is truly something to be proud of.
Thats why I'm very proud to be autistic. 7/7#AutisticAndProud #AspiePower #ActuallyAutistic
