How You Can Help! Hi all, I want to say before I begin this topic that has been shared based on World Autism Day 2020 that some of this will be based on my own opinions, thoughts, and experiences along with having some conversations with others in the autistic community. I believe that despite this time of year the term of autism awareness and autism acceptance has been debated and thrown about to others that are autistic of it making a hot debate and or topic for us to discuss when it is the month of World Autism Month, week or day. I know that with that being said that there’ll be a difference of opinions and so on, but I would like to ask you all to be kind to me as I share these thoughts and opinions with you all today. I am also willing to learn and to be open to listening to your thoughts and opinions about this topic and more by feeling free to share them in the comments below and in saying this for commenting below, be kind to one another. As again I said that everyone will have different opinions.   I know that I am late in sharing some of the stuff based on Autism related topics for World Autism Month but I am hoping to bring out to you some and that I am all about raising awareness and acceptance of autism and mental health as well as advocating and educating you all. But, here I am hopefully, today to basically share with you all about some of the ones I want to share. As you have heard my story also about my diagnosis with autism and my other personal struggles with this and more on my channel and other media if you’ve not seen my diagnosis story and that feel free to click here to watch my Diagnosis Story find out more about me more as an autistic or just my everyday autistic diagnosis. Don’t you just love it when people make an assumption about you when you’re ready to tell them that you’re either autistic or have some other form of mental illness?  World Autism Awareness Week or as some people would call it World Autism Acceptance Week again there’s going to be a divide as to how or what people would like to call this event based on their experience, understanding, and preference. I made a video about this last year (Reference: AUTISM AWARENESS AND AUTISM ACCEPTANCE/REPLACING AUTISM AWARENESS WITH AUTISM ACCEPTANCE – Click here  As we know that it’s now here as usual, it is on April 2nd in most years that has been coming for this of this autism acceptance month especially, and although this year of 2020 has bought us a surprise that due to some unforeseen obstacles or circumstances, we still do need to work a lot more of awareness as well as acceptance yet I believe that at the moment that people are aware of this condition of Autism as it is starting to be known yet some may have some misunderstandings about what autism is still and that some people are still ignorant or arrogant due to you know the lack of knowing what it is along with that promoting acceptance as part of this package as well.(Reference: Autism Awareness & Acceptance [April 2019]/ Autism Acceptance-Wear Red Instead: Click here    For many of us that are trying to raise awareness and acceptance of Autism, many of us in the autistic community especially are like herding cats and I must say sometimes with these cats I say that they tend to be really angry and a bit aggressive as I’ve noticed in some of the autistic community groups I’ve been in. Some of them have been aggressive and some have been pointing the finger at me or not just pointing the finger at me but bashing about you know that this should be said this way or that way and so on and so forth. But, I’m not going into the jiff of what was going down. I believe that in myself that there is or should be some unity and coming together is a really important factor in the community so that we can then learn and advocate and or educate others about autism than ever before. When you have people that have common traits of autism such as being detail orientated, who like to do their own thing, maybe obsessed with one thing, and so on and so forth for some of the common traits of autistic or people with autism. These are just to name a few just as I said before of these common traits. (Reference: Characteristic Traits In A Female with Aspergers Syndrome: Click here:  ( Reference: Obsessions and Interests in Autistic Children – Click here It may come as a surprise sometimes that being autistic can be an everyday struggle and is difficult for us to come together that as just as a one community as an autistic community and as to also to be just the one voice but this need to be necessary to make social progress in today’s world. So, the question is what is the difference between autism awareness and autism acceptance? Well, I shared again this topic also last year which you can find here (Reference: Introduction to World Autism Awareness Acceptance Month/Life as an Aspie [April, 2019]: Click here to watch But, I shall be short and brief in this part to what it is now to give you all a recap. Autism awareness is all about people who are autistic that are raising awareness and that again as I said earlier many people are aware of autism. This event of autism awareness started earlier than autism acceptance as autism awareness Insert image of a family became an idea by autistic adults and children way back in the year of the 1970s to really let people know about the existence of autism is
