It is so difficult to write what Autism means to me in just a few words. I am very grateful for all those persons on the spectrum that I have had the opportunity to meet and get to know better. Through our experiences, we thought each other that our differences are not that important, after all, we are all different and yet the same - as we are all π ·ππ Όπ °π ½ beings! We all crave the same things - we want to beloved and understood.
During the month of April, we hear a lot about what π π €π £π π ’π is, we listen to the importance of acceptance and understanding. Is life with autism always easy? No, of course not! But who on earth doesn't experience any kind of difficulties at some point in his life?
Let us not forget that not one person with autism is the same as the other. Like us, people on the spectrum are different, like different things, dislike different things - like us they are unique and special in their own way. So, let us all learn to be πππππ₯π©ππ£π©, π‘ππ¨π©ππ£ to these people - using not only our ears and adopt an ππ£ππ‘πͺπ¨ππ«π approach so that we can have the satisfaction of being a truly inclusive society.
