today is #AutismAwarenessDay and I am so proud to be on the spectrum! and no, autism (as well ADHD, ADD, Tourette's, OCD, ODD, etc.) is not a 'gift'. For most it is an endless fight against schools, workplaces and bullies. But under the right circumstances, given the right adjustments it CAN be a superpower. I've had my fair share of suffer, alienation, anxiety and disorders. But without my diagnosis, I would never started my artwork with Jimmy. Because of then I would have been like everyone else. Our society need to change, and we need to celebrate people who see the world differently and we need to start taking care of each other and embrace our differences. . . hoje é o Dia Internacional da Consciencia Autista e eu tenho muito orgulho de estar no espectro! E nao, autismo (assim como DDA, ODD, OCD, Tourette, etc) nao eh um ‘presente’. Pra maioria, eh uma luta sem fim contra escolas, locais de trabalho e intimidações. Mas sob as circunstâncias certas, com os ajustes certos, PODE ser uma superpotência. Eu tive minha parte justa de sofrimento, alienação, ansiedade e distúrbios. Mas sem meu diagnóstico, eu nunca teria começado meu trabalho com o Jimmy. Sem o diagnostico eu seria como todo mundo. Nossa sociedade precisa mudar, e precisamos celebrar as pessoas que vêem o mundo de maneira diferente e precisamos começar a cuidar um do outro e abraçar nossas diferenças. . #aspiepower #aspiepride https://www.instagram.com/p/B-egPi-HgHm/?igshid=rdgrjyh4xrj5

Aspietip: Freedom! Remind yourself each day that social acceptance is not the answer to your problems. Neurotypical people, many of whom have awesome social skills, can and often do struggle with anxiety and fear of rejection. Be your own self and find joy in those who love your uniqueness. #actuallyautistic #aspiepride #flyyourownflag

We often talk about being inclusive, but so many children's books meant to be about inclusion are just dreadfully ham-handed morality tales, unappealing to actual kids. On the other hand, there's a lot to love about Deborah Heiligman's "The Boy Who Loved Math: The Improbable Life of Paul Erdos" (2013), a picture book biography of the renowned Hungarian mathematician. What's the connection, you ask? As soon as I read this beautiful book, gorgeously illustrated by LeUyen Pham and strewn with brightly coloured numbers and mathematical symbols, something jumped out at me. Here was an academically exceptional man who saw the patterns in everything around him, yet struggled with the activities of daily life; a man who could be oddly blunt and eccentric but was nonetheless deeply beloved of those around him. He seemed ... familiar. And sure enough, when I looked deeper, I learned something not mentioned in the story: that it's believed that Erdos, like me, had Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism. ❤ In my opinion, this book is brilliant not just for it's biographical elements, but for its beautiful, sympathetic portrayal of an autistic human, fully formed, dignified and worthy of love and respect INCLUSIVE OF, not DESPITE, his disabilities. Read this book to your kids. Let them learn that different is not a negative. ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #bookstagraminthe6ix #theboywholovedmath #theimprobablelifeofpaulerdős #deborahheiligman #leuyenpham #paulerdos #paulerdős #picturebookbiography #picturebookbiographies #biographyforkids #mathematician #mathpicturebooks #mathspicturebooks #roaringbrookpress #aspergerssyndrome #aspergers #actuallyautistic #autisticpeople #autismisawesome #aspies #aspiepride #autisticpride #autistickidsrock #inclusionmatters #diversityandinclusion #inclusion #representation #readwithriver_discussions #inclusivechildrensbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B3iCh2OnY96/?igshid=1os6f3xtnpt3k

Aspietip: You glow. Whenever someone, who genuinely wants you to teach them more about your special interest, enters into conversation with you, they see it too. You're shining from within when you speak about what you love. #actuallyautistic #aspiepride #dowhatyoulove

Aspietip: Reach out and grasp your goals. Just because we're on the spectrum, doesn't mean we can't steer our lives toward what we want. In fact, if your goal is related to a special interest, your intrinsic motivation and genuine passion set you up to succeed! #aspiepride #dowhatyoulove #youcandoit (at Cox Business Center)

Aspietip: Burned sand becomes glass. Past experience can either make you melt or make you stronger. Never let a diagnosis tell you who you are and how you should react to adversity. Autistic women can be and often are coolheaded, persevering, and resilient. #aspiepride #defineyourself #burnbrightly

Aspietip: In the work setting, I thrive when I'm given meaningful structures and rules. If your employer is very go with the flow, set up your own standards that you always follow, and you'll feel more grounded. #goodworkethic #aspiepride #knightinshiningarmor

Aspietip: Your unconventional aspie ideas are not only worthwhile, but often innovative! This pertains to work, school, and with friends who need advice. Never be afraid to share. #lightbulbmoment #aspiepride #outofthebox

Aspietip: For a while, I'd been going down a tunnel of self-doubt, never believing I could make a career out of my special interest for numerous reasons: potential debt, lack of time, job availability. But I finally decided to tunnel out! Why waste time working for the things I'm less passionate about when special interest hyperfocusing is one of the greatest aspie gifts? #makeithappen #aspiepride #bridge (at Riverside Running Trails)

Aspietip: Meal prep and cooking are special interests of mine. Try applying the aspie quality of desiring exactness to the measurement and timing of a well-cooked meal! #aspiepride #measuringcups #greentea (at Cirque Coffee)
