Celebrating neurodiversity is not just for schools and therapists. It's about all of us coming together as a community to appreciate all ways of experiencing the world and showing kindness.
We have come a long way in terms of autism acceptance. Many workplaces and colleges have integrated neurodiversity initiatives, including a few bold ones such as interview alternatives to accommodatecandidates. Individuals such as Greta Thurnberg, Elon Musk, and Dan Akroyd are challenging stereotypes of what it means to be autistic as they have stepped forward about their experiences..
So, as we move through April, maybe we can take a moment and consider what greater acceptance of autistic individuals could look like. A ribbon can signal support.
You don't have to ask if someone has a diagnosis or get hip on the newest terms to embrace differences. Acceptance often looks like kindness. If someone is asking for extra help, rather than assuming that person is lazy, recognize that people have different experiences of things. Something that might come easily to one person might be overwhelming to another, including many with disabilities.
