April Autism Acceptance Month post:
This. The roots of development are autistic for an autistic person…this is their neurobiological existence, everything that flowers and grows from there, is experienced through an autistic root system. This is what grounds an individual to this planet.
This is what helps nurture the planet. This is what makes the planet what it is and helps sustain so many other living organisms. This diversity is vital to its existence. But every living thing on this planet has different needs and contributes to the health and well being of this one planet in their unique way and this is necessary for this entire living system to flourish and be well.
Autism acceptance……..belonging
There are zero non-autistic parts of an autistic person.
If you were to take the Autism away, that person would simply not exist anymore.
It is our entire experience, our whole existence, and for many of us it is a major part of our identity.
In case you’re new here, I’m big on Autistic pride.
What are you proud of today?
Literally 5 minutes ago I stumbled onto an older project that I never got finished (because it’s freaking massive), and reignited my intense passion for that. I’m all excited again now. If I don’t eat or sleep for the next 6 months we could have it done before Christmas
