SO IT’S #Autism Awareness Month?

since am one of those #ActuallyAutistic people Dx at the tender age of 50 (yes, 50. and yes am older now, shut up), am not acquainted with the american rituals of national days or awareness months involving autism.

welp, let me do this as a gentle reminder:

  1. BLACK
  2. INDIGENOUS
  3. PUERTO RICAN
  4. CARIBBEAN
  5. LATINOAMERICANES
  6. WOMEN

can be #autistic too.

and in my case: #dyslexic with a sprinkling of good ol’ extra spicy #ADHD.

but ironically, 🧵

I generally am quite a clumsy person, but I just realized my clumsiness gets way worse when I am overwhelmed. Got to spend four days on the Easter holidays with my nephew - and till the end of the week it’s like clumsiness x10. Everything falls from my hands, I almost drowned my phone two times, accidentally broke several plates, a glads and a ceramic pot lid, flipped several dishes and bumped many things. I’m like a walking disaster by now, so I just am sitting on my sofa trying to not touch anything fragile or expensive till I get enough of my alone time. Did you also noticed being much more clumsy when you are overwhelmed and not having enough alone time? @autistics@fedigroups.social #autistic #AuDHD #neurodivergent

Today is officially #WorldAutismAwarenessDay, designated by the United Nations as day of recognition and appreciation. This kicks off #AutismAwarenessMonth, which many of us call #AutismBewarenessMonth because it’s always much more about “here’s how bad autism is” than “here’s how to make autistic people’s lives better”. When we want to be more positive than snarky, we call it #AutismAcceptanceMonth, because it’s better to be accepted than for people to be aware of us mainly as a set of problems.

The problem with the above is that all that awareness and acceptance is something that allistic people are supposed to do, so the occasion centers allistic people instead of autistic people. The whole month is about how allistic people think and feel about us – it’s not actually about us at all!

But over on Bluesky, Aslynn (@audhd-psychnp.com) hit on some better branding: Autistic People’s Month! I really like this, as it centers us in our own celebration. #AutisticPeoplesMonth is not about how anyone else feels about us, but about our own existence, accomplishments, problems, and all the rest. I hope this catches on, so doing my part to make it happen. April is now ours!
